No, Perl will add the 5.14.0 INC path to the 5.14.1 INC path so you shouldn’t have to reinstall any modules as Perl maintains binary compatibility between minor versions. Any new modules you install will just be visible to 5.14.1, though.
You might want to use something like App::perlbrew if you do want to keep your installations segregated.
