Could this be a solution for me?
I can't say it will work then. Your case is a mystery to me...
I don't know much about "Docker", how does it work?
Docker isolates an application from the "outer" operating system. It can come with its own binaries for tools which might conflict in the main system (eg. the Perl version). Allowing you to run them with less interaction with whatever other components and apps are running on your system. On Linux, where it is at home, it's much leaner than a virtual machine, offering many of the same advantages. Alas, on Mac (or Windows) Docker would basically run a minimal Linux in a VM to then run the dockerized applications. Therefore it's not exactly lean on these platforms.
Will it make me independent of the operating system?
More independent, yes. Eg. I can run that old 32-bit MIP binary on my M1/ARM based Mac Mini. Or some people would now run LMS on their Synology Diskstation in a a Docker container, as Synology themselves no longer support it. The image comes with its own Perl version.
