Have 6.2.1 installed as usual, but the service is set to "manual" (so I can start it when i want, e.g. if the current incarnation of 6.5 is too buggy). I've also installed ActiveState Perl - pretty painless, if you ask me - and I download the Perlscripts version of 6.5, and extract to a different folder to my 6.2.1 install (e.g. C:\Program Files\SlimServer-beta\). I've also overwritten the 6.5 "firmware" folder with the 6.2.1 folder, as I found firmware 29 not to agree with my wireless network, whereas 28 is fine. This also means that regardless which version I start, I don't have to run around my place updating the firmware on all my Squeezeboxes... Because I didn't want to go through tweaking and re-configuring 6.5, I also copied the slimserver.pref file from 6.2.1 into my 6.5 install folder, and changed the cachedir value to the relevant path (so each installation has its own cachedir). Now I can run either the service (6.2.1) or the perl version (6.5) - and there's no convoluted install/uninstall process when I download a new nightly: I just extract the ZIP into a temporary folder, then move all files/folders from there - except the "firmware" folder - into my SlimServer-beta folder. Next time I start the perl version, I'm running the new build... Works for me (so far)! Just my 2c (1.145p, actually)...
