Adym:
In Win2k Windows Explorer, you can right click on a file and select
the menu "Open With >". This sub menu with programs you have opened the
file with before. If you "Choose Program...", and then go find
perl5.6.1.exe and perl5.8.0.exe, you will be able to right-click and run a
script from Win Explorer using whichever of the two you choose, without
switching environments (or at least having environment setup be in the
differently named wrapper.bat scripts for the interpreter).
