Regarding the copying of AS PPDs into CQ installation. Wouldn't there be some path problem

I'm not sure what you mean by "path problem"? You would have to move/copy the files (manually) extracted from the AS .zips into the appropriate places with the CQPerl subtrees. This is generally not hard to do manually, though it begs to be automated.

as well as version mismatch problem?

So long as you fetch the AS .zip compatible with the build of CQPerl, it should be fine. Eg. If the CQPerl reports it's version as 5.8.x then get the zips from here.

In general (though not guarenteed), dlls built with any compiler, for a given major release of Perl will interoperate correctly,

Or I should pick AS perl 5.8.6, just like the CQ perl is?

Are you saying that CQPerl is just a binary copy of AS Perl with some extra packages added? If so, does it come with ppm, or ppm-shell?

If so, then just using that to install the extra packages you want would be by far the simplest option.
