Perl -V will tell you the paths(plural) that libraries are included from.

If you want multiple perls installed you will need ot install them
yourself.

There are tricks to get a single perl to use differnet include paths
depending upon where it is installed but IMHo these are just plain
"shack-nasty" and a possible security risk if you mess up.
