No you did not.
You installed ActiveState ActivePerl 6xx which is Perl version 5.6.1
+ some patches.
If you want to know the exact version run
perl -v
Only the PPM installed with it is version 2.1.6.

That's possible.
If you go to the Start Menu\Programs\ActiveState ActivePerl, click
the "Perl documentation" and go to "ActivePerl FAQ\PPM" you should
get some info about this.

No. You don't need a compiler if you use PPM.
That is the reason of it's existence. Only if you try to install some
module directly from CPAN do you need a C compiler.
