No, that is not true. ActivePerl is distributed under the ActiveState Community License, not under the L?GPL. It only contains software beyond the core Perl distribution that is either also licensed under the Artistic license or has been developed by ActiveState.

I don't think there is any problem hosting PPM repositories as long as source code for the modules is available as well, even if the modules are under L?GPL.

However, as an end-user you must not use modules that are purely under L?GPL in your binary PerlApp/Perl2exe/PAR distribution unless you make the source available too.
