In this thread it is said that
https://www.usingenglish.com/forum/ask-teacher/35715-dare-normal-modal-verb.html
"B Dared you contradict her? <auxiliary verb>
In B, dared carries the past tense marker"
So, shall I take it as modal dare has its past form expressed by DARED?
Could you then explain to me the difference?
(1)I dared enter the room.
(2)I dare have entered the room.
(I think that modal verbs can easily take perfect infinititve as in (2)
