Actually, I finally did get what I needed working. Basically I put the
unzipped package into a directory, loaded tinypath at the top of my emacs,
but didn't enable the tools package. Instead I just enable those that I need
(for example, here is the tiny tools load and setup and setup for tiny
perl):

;; TINY TOOLS [http://tiny-tools.sourceforge.net/]
;; Base Setup (set paths, get ready to turn packages on)
(load "c:/home/elisp/tiny/lisp/tiny/tinypath")
(require 'tiny-setup)
(tiny-setup nil)

;; TINY PERL (enhances perl mode, provides pod functions)
(require 'tinyperl)
(autoload 'turn-on-tinyperl-mode  "tinyperl" "" t)
(add-hook 'perl-mode-hook 'turn-on-tinyperl-mode)
(add-hook 'cperl-mode-hook 'turn-on-tinyperl-mode)

Apparently there are some conflicts with some tiny tools and some of the
extensions I run. But this way I can selectively try them out.

I also had problems with the automatic INFO routines clobbering my main info
directory, but many cache reloads later it fixed itself and it does work as
advertised, as does tinypath, though it takes a manual refreshing on a
fairly regular basis. Maybe I'll just put that in my .emacs too...

The whole thing seems needlessly confusing in my opinion!
