The list is quite a bit longer:

• Strawberry Perl
• Apache Perl (would seem to be ActivePerl compatible, at least, they distribute PPM packages too)
• Numen Inest Perl (now abandoned)
• PXPerl (now abandoned)
• IndigoPerl (hasn't been updated in 2 years)

For the complete list, see the Perl-Win32 wiki

Which to choose? Well, if you don't have a good reason to choose for another distribution, I'd go for either ActivePerl or Strawberry Perl. Both can use MinGW to install XS modules which are (partly) written in C. The latter actually even comes with MinGW, but installing MinGW for use with ActivePerl is actually dead easy these days. It used to be a lot worse.
