Why does FQ need an old version of Perl?
It doesn't. The updated version of Perl typically will not contain any of the additional modules installed on the original/older version. "Typically", because for advanced Perl users there are ways to install modules in directories not affected by Perl upgrades.
On my Macbook (still running Catalina 10.15), I have 3 different versions of Perl available. Each has modules installed that are not installed for the other releases. I also have 2 different directory trees of modules that can be used by any of the versions when I set an environment variable. This ability is useful for developers, but can throw novice users for a loop if somehow modules were installed where not expected.
