PPM 4 - package detection

Hello,

PPM 4 has this feature:

> PPM will pick up and manage packages installed by other
> means (e.g. manually or with the CPAN shell).

I copied the site library over from my old Win XP Pro PC to my new XP Pro PC; although the older PC has perl 5.8.8 and the newer
has 5.8.9, both installations have the same directory tree (c:\opt\perl).

However,

ppm list site

Does not find anything on the new PC. So how does one make use of the feature cited above?

Thanks,

--Suresh

The method actually works. (In the attempt reported above,
Windows messed up the copy! I redid the copy and ppm list site
outputs the expected stuff -- same as on the old PC.)
