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.
