Strawberry Perl currently will always install into C:\strawberry\ , which doesn't overlap the default directory for ActiveState Perl.
When installing ActiveState Perl, at the third step "Custom Setup" when it asks what features you want, it also shows the defaulted "Location: C:\Perl\" and a 'Browse' button next to that. Click that button and change the location to whatever you want, such as "C:\Perl51001\". You can do that with any of the ActiveState installs.
And as Rob mentions, I also have batch files to switch my DOS window to the desired version: pathperl510s.bat , pathperl588.bat , pathperl561.bat, etc.
rem Add Perl 5.8.8 to path
path C:\Perl588_822\site\bin;C:\Perl588_822\bin;%path%

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
