Er, fix your syntax errors and it works fine 
## lowercase Use, and 'qw' not 'qe'
use Error qw(:try);

try {
  &func1();
  print "still in try block\n";
} catch Error::Simple with {
  my $err = shift;
  print "Error: ", $err->{'-text'}, "\n";
  print "had some problem\n";
} otherwise {
  print "in otherwise block\n";
};
#^ you *must* have a semi-colon as try/catch/etc
# are user-defined subroutines. the docs mention this
# in the SYNOPSIS

sub func1 {

  print "in func1\n";
  throw Error::Simple('throwing simple error');
}

__output__

in func1
Error: throwing simple error
had some problem
