Hello Roman,

Perl version 5.30.1 is older than the version provided by TeX Live
(5.34.0).  If the version of Perl you installed yourself breaks
anything in TeX Live you could try to type

   tlmgr conf texmf TEXLIVE_WINDOWS_TRY_EXTERNAL_PERL 0

on the command line.  Regarding the last argument: 0 means 'false' and
1 means 'true'.  Perl scripts shipped with TeX Live will then use the
Perl provided by TeX Live.  The drawback is that scripts requiring
non-standard Perl modules will not work.

A better solution is to remove your local Perl installation, install
version 5.34.0, and try again.  But please check whether the new Perl
works with TeX Live before you try to install additional modules.

Regards,
  Reinhard
