Yes.

You can share some space by having both versions of Perl use the same lib trees (but different lib/arch trees)... but I'd avoid that. It is way too easy for me to see some perl-only scripts that don't play well together between the two versions of Perl.

So when you configure Perl 5.6, be sure to specify a location for lib different from what Perl 5.003 is using. (For Windows, just install Perl 5.6 in a different directory.)
