G'day pryrt,

Thanks for your research and discovery.

Yes, I am using Perl v5.36 and Term::ANSIColor v5.01 came with that (it's a dual-life module).

The first stable version of Perl with Term::ANSIColor v5.00 (or later) is Perl v5.32.0 (with Term::ANSIColor v5.01): https://perldoc.perl.org/5.32.0/Term::ANSIColor. The most recent version of Perl offered by "Strawberry Perl" is v5.32.1.1. So, presumably, updating Strawberry Perl would be another way to get the required version of Term::ANSIColor.
