Re: Programmatically compiling (perl -c) a Perl file

Well, might be possible with those hacks. However there would be some more simpler solutions to this if we just need to compile check a list of perl files.
For example a file 'a' consisting a statement of requiring file 'b' at runtime, compile checking file a with conditions which makes file b execute does serve the purpose. might sound towards code coverage or static analysis tools. some kind of custom test scenarios scripted down can also come as a rescue...
