in reply to Show all errors on compile time

Do you have an example with multiple such errors demonstrating your observation?

update

On a side note: If you use an IDE which supports continuously running perl -c in the background (like "flymake" in emacs) you will see all compile-time errors almost immediately wile you type.

You can also configure to let the check run with an older Perl (if that really helps)
