I don't sense any real difference in meaning between sentences 2, 3, and 4.
Sentence 1 just seems strange. The only possible context I can think of for its possible use might be as a sentence uttered to a baby at birth (i.e. someone who has not yet had any opportunity to experience life).

How is this different from the one meaning of simple past, present and perfect past perfect?
