Is there a difference in programming styles in Red Hat Perl and ActiveState perl?

"Red Hat Perl" is merely a distribution of Perl that happens to be packaged for the Red Hat Linux distribution. It's essentially the same Perl that ActiveState packages for a Win32 distribution. The significant differences are in the platforms, not in the Perls. There are some thing you cannot do on Win32 that you can on *nix (e.g., shared memory), and visa versa (OLE).

Style is, for the most part, unrelated.

Any good Perl book should help you learn on either platform, with the exception that Learning Perl on Win32 Systems is slanted towards packages only available on Win32.
