I don't use ActiveState (ppm)--are you sure that statistics::R is available
from ActiveState for MacOS?  I use CPAN instead.

However, you just need to get the tarfile from CPAN.  Unzip and untar it.
Then go into the top-level directory and type:

 perl Makefile.PL

Then type:

 sudo make install

That's it.
