You can try Sandboxie since you indicated that you are using Windows.

I use it to experiment with installing various modules from CPAN and testing them.

If the installs get messy, I just remove the Sandbox and can try again. My current Strawberry Perl install is not affected.

I am trying to get the courage to do this in a sandbox:

Remove my current version of Strawberry Perl using Add/Remove Programs.

(Running "control appwiz.cpl" from the Windows Run window is giving me problems, though.)

Build the latest version of Strawberry Perl in the sandbox.

If I am pleased with the the results of a batch of installs of modules from CPAN, then repeat the process in the live Windows environment.

UPDATE:

I have been experiencing problems with the sandbox. For example, create a sandbox and run:

perl -MCPAN -e shell
test Test::Trap
quit<<<<<<======That is how you exit the shell.

Those errors should not occur in your live Strawberry environment.

They seem to be associated with the use of temporary files.

Otherwise, the sandbox has been working well for me.

My advice: If you are a Windows user, try installing Sandboxie. It is easy to use and even if you don't have a use for it now, you will surely come up with one soon.
