ActivePerl is the version of Perl maintained by ActiveState, mainly for the Windows platform (though I think they've now release *nix versions too).
As far as I know they're basically the same, though ActivePerl is "tweaked" for Windows and contains a few extra utilities that aren't standard with Perl (eg PPM). If you're using windows, your probably want to stick to ActivePerl. If you're using a *nix, then stick to the RPM (or package) released for your particular *nix/distro. If you're a compiler junkie, grab the source to Perl and compile it yourself (on Windows, you're ability to compile will vary, hence ActivePerl). Hope that helps.
