Knowing the exact Perl version and its path matters most when a script or cron job hard-codes an interpreter path that no longer matches what is actually installed, which is a common cause of a script that worked yesterday suddenly failing silently today.
When in doubt about which Perl build a particular script expects, check the shebang line at the very top of that script file first; it almost always states the exact interpreter path the script was written to run against.
