You need to reconfigure and rebuild Mailmunge.  Because yes... it's
hard-coded to a particular Perl version.  You can check with ldd; this
is my Mailmunge installation running on a Raspberry Pi:

$ ldd /usr/local/bin/mailmunge-multiplexor 
	/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libarmmem-${PLATFORM}.so => /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libarmmem-v8l.so (0xf7e30000)
	libperl.so.5.36 => /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libperl.so.5.36 (0xf7ace000)
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
	libc.so.6 => /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc.so.6 (0xf7955000)
	/lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3 (0xf7e55000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libm.so.6 (0xf790e000)
	libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libcrypt.so.1 (0xf78b0000)

And yes, if you do upgrade Perl to a new version with dns, you'll need
to recompile Mailmunge.
