upgrade-perl requires reinstalling all user-installed XS modules

Whenever I use upgrade-perl to upgrade to a point release (ex. 5.30.0 to 5.30.1) all user-installed (non-core) XS modules can not be found. The docs say:

Minor Perl releases (ex. 5.x.*) are binary compatible with one another, so this command offers you the ability to upgrade older perlbrew environments in place.

which implies that upgrade-perl that no additional steps need to be taken. Either this is expected behavior and the docs need updating, or this is a bug or configuration issue which needs addressing.

My @INC: /Users/grr/src/perlbrew/perls/stable/lib/site_perl/5.30.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Users/grr/src/perlbrew/perls/stable/lib/site_perl/5.30.1 /Users/grr/src/perlbrew/perls/stable/lib/5.30.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Users/grr/src/perlbrew/perls/stable/lib/5.30.1 /Users/grr/src/perlbrew/perls/stable/lib/site_perl/5.30.0 /Users/grr/src/perlbrew/perls/stable/lib/site_perl

Hi @grr . Is this still an issue? If so what version of perlbrew are you using? Thanks.
