Yes. The 'use' statement is requiring at least version 5.005_64 for the compilation to go ahead. What you're running is 5.003_07 which isn't late enough. I'd be very surprised if there was a significant difference between these two version to stop your program running. Try just commenting out the 'use' line and see where that gets you. If there's syntax that the older version doesn't understand then the warnings and errors will soon tell you.
