The Moose argument is why I like vr's idea. If perl -c doesn't bomb out early on you can be pretty confident it is actually compiling Perl (with Moose or something equally heavy).

    Well, after the timeout you'd only have proven (again and again) that Moose contains Perl, the file in question could still be just garbage starting with use Moose

    But yeah, this should be sufficient for the 80% threshold. :)
