ITcl :: try_eval command not working in Linux 5.4

Hi,

My code uses try_eval block to do some code execution. This piece of code does not work on RHEL 5.4. The program just hangs at the try_eval block and does not throw any errors either. The same program however works in other Linux boxes that we have.

I have written a simple program that uses try_eval as below. However, when i try to run the program it throws an "invalid command name". I am stuck and unable to move further. Any help/pointers on what i am doing incorrectly would be of great help !

Code:
package provide temp 1.0


namespace export temp



package require Itcl

namespace import -force ::itcl::*

set a "some var"
puts "$a"


class temp {

public method getEntry {} {


try_eval {
    # code
        puts -nonewline stderr "Enter a number: "
    set ans [gets stdin]
        
    set res [expr 1.0 + $ans]
        puts stderr "1 + $ans = $res"
   } {
    # catch
        set msg [lindex $errorCode end]
       puts stderr "Error: $msg"
    } {
    # finally
    puts stderr "End of example"
    }

}
}
variable tempObj
set tempObj [temp #auto]
puts "$tempObj"


set res [$tempObj getEntry]
puts "$res"

On running this i get the below error:

Code:
$tclsh temp.tcl

some var
temp0
invalid command name "try_eval"
    while executing
"try_eval {
    # code
        puts -nonewline stderr "Enter a number: "
    set ans [gets stdin]
    set res [expr 1.0 + $ans]
        puts stderr "1 ..."
    (object "::temp0" method "::temp::getEntry" body line 4)
    invoked from within
"$tempObj getEntry"
    invoked from within
"set res [$tempObj getEntry]"
    (file "temp.tcl" line 43)

I am using tcl version tcl8.4
