> I'm on perl v5.34.1, with the "try" feature enabled

From this 2015 PM node, I see (like me) you have a long-standing keen interest in Perl's try/catch exception handling. :-) That being the case, and assuming you're stuck using the system perl v5.34.1, why not simply leave that version of perl alone and build your own from the latest stable source release, namely perl v5.40.0?

In my experience, this is an easy and reliable chore to perform on Linux, as described in detail at:

• CPAN and Package Manager Security References - includes a detailed example of securely building perl v5.38.0 from source on Ubuntu
• Re: 5.40 released (perl new feature References) - describing changes in behaviour of perl's try/catch exception handling after building perl v5.40.0 from source
