in reply to How good IDE should syntax-check ( compile with perl -c ) perl code?

FWIW in emacs calling this regularly from the background is called flymake-mode . (I know that Komodo has support for this too)

Maybe you'll find more discussions by googling this.

I'm not aware of applying perl -MModule -ce0 there, but customization shouldn't be a problem.

(I tend to use a modulino approach to run many more tests from the background, but that's another discussion.)

Please note that your thread's title is confusing, many will think about the syntax check that highlighter and auto-intendation are doing for you.

    Strange.. it's "syntax check" even in perldoc perlrun, googling "perl syntax check" returns relevant results.
      Yeah maybe, but we are talking about IDEs right, they do many types of checks.

      My idea after reading the title was not perl -c which is to be honest compilation check only, since runtime errors aren't caught.

      At least I was confused ...
