Can't locate feature.pm in @INC

Hello, at http://search.cpan.org/~rgarcia/perl-5.10.0/pod/perlsyn.pod#Switch_statements they say
Starting from Perl 5.10, you can say
use feature "switch";

But when I am using "This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi"

I still got error of

william@william-pc:~$ perl
use feature "switch";
Can't locate feature.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at - line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at - line 1.


How can I solve this ? Thanks
