No, you don�t.  You can install modules without having to upgrade perl.

You should use the CPAN module that comes with perl, like this:

Perl -MCPAN -e "install LWP::Simple"

It will need to be configured the first time you run it, you can use the
default settings for pretty much everything.  For more info on CPAN, try
"perldoc CPAN" at the command line.

You can also go to the web page (www.cpan.org) & download the modules &
install them manually, but the CPAN tool tends to be easier.
