To quote an earlier message on the same topic: Strawberry Perl is open source, free-as-in-speech and free-as-in-beer, community maintained, actively maintained, and allows one to install modules directly from CPAN. Therefore, it is normally preferable over ActivePerl, but I'm not saying that ActivePerl is not also a quality distribution, just less recommended than Strawberry Perl.
