Ways to address this:

• You can convert to using the builtin feature.

  $ perl -E'try { 1/0 } catch ( $e ) { }; say "ok"'   # Using 5.40
  ok
  [download]

• You can follow add no feature qw( try );

  $ perl -MTry::Tiny -E'no feature qw( try ); try { 1/0 }; say "ok"'
  ok
  [download]

• You can use an older version of the "language" (even if you're using the 5.40 interpreter).

  $ perl -Mv5.38 -MTry::Tiny -e'try { 1/0 }; say "ok"'
  ok
  [download]

  (5.10 would suffice for this program.)

As you might have noticed, -E isn't forward compatible. Your program would have worked with 5.38, but it doesn't with 5.40. It's safer to use

-e'use v5.xx; ...'
[download]

or

-Mv5.xx -e'...'
[download]

instead of

-E'...'   # XXX Not forward-compatible.
[download]

if it's not a throwaway program.
