It seems to me that you could semi-automate your way around the path problem
by creating 1 .bat file for each installation of Perl. Each one would set
the PATH to point to a different Perl directory.

Yes, sure, I have four ;) A little catch is that only one perl could
be in the PATH. So, from the command line you'll have to type a full path to
start additional perls, not just "perl.exe" or "perl".
And only one perl could be assigned to open CGI files with. So, if
you run web server on that PC - it will start that perl.exe
If I'm getting it right perl.exe takes the appropriate perl.dll
from it's own dir (like when they both are in perl\bin) OR from the PATH.
So, for example, that trick with apache, when you are copying perl.exe to
use like /usr/bin/perl - that trick will not work with any perl other than
that whos perl\bin is in the PATH.
