Not at this time, the online update system uses MD5 hashes of the files 
themselves and would not be able to compensate for changes in the 
interpreter line without a complete rewrite (which might be useful 
anyways). 

You could create a shell script wrapper to launch framework applications 
with the correct perl interpreter. The following snippet would launch 
msfconsole with your other Perl installation, command line arguments and 
all.

[ start_console.sh]
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/perl /path/to/msfconsole $@
