Thanks once more, P Sena. Here's the situation some of the files are in:

          \,,,/
          (o o)
------oOOo-(_)-oOOo------
michael@wladimir:~ :-) cat a.pl
use strict;
use vars '$x';
$x = 1;
require 'b.pl';
bla();
michael@wladimir:~ :-) cat b.pl
use strict;
sub bla { print ++$x, "\n" }
1;
michael@wladimir:~ :-) perl a.pl
2
michael@wladimir:~ :-) perl -c b.pl
Global symbol "$x" requires explicit package name at b.pl line 2.
b.pl had compilation errors.
-------------------------

That's pretty bad, and obviously it cannot stay like this. There's lots
of other things to do, but getting individual files to pass a simple
perl -c test is my first priority.

I guess my interest in possible compiler options is rather theoretical.
I can achieve what I want with what I already know.

Test::More plus File::Find plus perl -c, for starters.

Yeah. I hope to eliminate most of the globals.

Thanks for your suggestions, much appreciated!
