So is the best practice to just have a complete modules directory corresponding to each version of installed perl, no matter how minor the version update? For example, if I have the following (hypothetical) versions installed:

5.26.1 5.26.2 5.26.3 5.26.4

Then each one of those should have its own complete modules directory?

    Perl actually guarantees that you can upgrade between minor versions without needing to recompile. But that implies that the new minor version was compiled with exactly the same compiler and compiler options as the old one.
