I put all my perls in /usr/local/perls, each with their completely separate trees of modules, executables, and so on. I leave alone Apple's perl and link /usr/local/bin/perl to the one I want to use most of the time. I make other links to particular versions, such as /usr/local/bin/perl5.10.0. I have to install modules multiple times, but that is no big deal. I start cpan(1) with the right perl and it finds the right CPAN/Config.pm and installs them in the right place: $ perl5.10.0 cpan ...
