in reply to "perl -c" an array of code in a running program

You could try wrapping the array code into a subroutine and evaling it to detect errors:


my @code = ...;

my $sub = join "\n", 'use strict;', 'use warnings;', 'sub test {', @co
+de, '} 1;';

if( eval $sub != 1 ) {
    ## look in $@ for errors;
}
