G'day sijaanh,

Welcome to the Monastry.

[Please note: Writing sloppy, "couldn't care less" posts, like you have above, will simply be ignored by many, and possibly downvoted. You would've been presented with a "Preview" screen and yet you chose to post what we see above. See "How do I post a question effectively?" for a better way to handle this.]

I get the impression from your post that you don't fully understand either "use VERSION" or "require VERSION". I don't have the vintage versions of Perl that you've mention; however, the following should provide useful examples (note that perle provides lots of feedback if problems are encountered). 

$ alias perle
alias perle='perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -Mautodie=:all -MCarp::Always -E
+'

$ perlbrew list
 * perl-5.34.0
   perl-5.33.5
   perl-5.32.0
   perl-5.30.0

$ perle 'use 5.034; no warnings "experimental::try"; use feature "try"
+;  try { 1 == 2 } catch($e) { }'

$ perlbrew switch perl-5.32.0

$ perle 'use 5.034; no warnings "experimental::try"; use feature "try"
+;  try { 1 == 2 } catch($e) { }'
Perl v5.34.0 required--this is only v5.32.0, stopped at -e line 1.
        main::BEGIN() called at -e line 1
        eval {...} called at -e line 1
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

Ask further (and better) questions if you need more help with any of this.
