Well, it's exactly like Perlbrew, but for Windows. It allows you to have any number of Perl installations installed, without touching the system perl.

...and do things like:

berrybrew exec cpanm Module::One

[download]

...which will install the module on ALL installed versions. Or:

berrybrew exec --with 5.22.1_64,5.24.0 cpanm Module::One

[download]

to install on only select vers.

For example, say you need a module but want to check which version of Perl it'll run under, before deciding on a version to install system-wide to a number of Windows machines:

>berrybrew exec cpanm Log::Simple
