If you run your script under -w or add "use warnings", you will see
&Digest::MD5::md5_hex function probably called as class
method at try.pl line 8.
What means that what you really want is
my $cs= Digest::MD5::md5_hex($text);
where -> between "Digest::MD5" and "md5_hex" gives place to "::". With
this simple change, the output turns to

172b442fcbe775a552d8afda30ac6821
Your original code were computing the MD5 digest of the bareword
"Digest::MD5" plus the text. It is all there in the synopsis of
Digest::MD5 docs.
