This is a great idea that I think should be integrated into the solution for Visual Studio 10+
I added the variables through the Windows GUI, but a command line script could be set up too.

In regards to Perl 5.14, I do not have anything available to install 64 bit versions on right now, but this works to build with perl 5.12 in VS2010 Professional. I left the defualt 5.10 reference in ther eto make sure which if my system was building against. I was building on a x64 system for x32 and it chose the correct perl512 reference.
