Redistribution query

I'm currently in the process of writing a game using Perl and I want to have a neat package for Windows, so it will provide Perl and all the modules the game will use. At the moment, one of modules doesn't compile under Strawberry Perl but is provided for ActiveState Perl by the author ( in PPM form ).

As this game will be Free/Open Source, do I need to buy a license to redistribute either the ActivePerl installer or an already configured ActivePerl installation with the game? I have seen mention of redistribution in commercial settings but no mention of other situations.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
