in reply to Install Perl64 *AND* Perl32

Do not keep ANY perl in your PATH. Associate .pl with a IDE or text editor, not with a perl engine. Make a series of batch files in your windows folder (already on PATH), that do have something like "set PATH=C:\myperlversion\bin;%PATH%" inside. Might also want to research if you can change the prompt template on windows, unix style. It would be easier to identify which CL box has which perl.

    Or, have each of the batch scripts specify a different foreground/background colour combo for the console (using the 'color' comand): 
    set PATH=C:\myperlversion\bin;%PATH%
color 37
