The v16 code and documentation changes were made at the same time, here:
https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git&a=commitdiff&h=4c1532763
We rearranged the installation documentation in v17, so the comments
about perl version may be in a different place now. But v16 certainly
documented it in the place that was appropriate at the time.
