in reply to Perl on Windows 10

I can't say anything regarding Perl on Win10 because I am still on Win7. I just want to add my 5 cents for the task of using different versions of any tools. I keep applications (as much as it is possible) in their own directories and create symlinks as below: 
mklink /d perl strawberry-perl-5.16.2.1-32bit

[download]
and the c:\full\path\to\perl\bin is specified in the %PATH% variable. When I need to switch to another Perl version I simply change the symlink 
rd perl
mklink /d perl strawberry-perl-5.8.8.3

[download]

    G'day siberia-man,

    Good advice: I use ln -s extensively on *nix platforms so I'm familiar with the concept.

    I'm assuming mklink and rd are MSWin commands. Hopefully, with whatever command line interface I choose, I'll be able to continue using the *nix commands.
