I wonder if you would find this useful. In .vimrc put: 

au BufWritePost *.pl,*.pm !perl -c %

[download]

Every time you save a .pl or .pm file, it executes perl -c and shows you the output.

    Better would probably be something like: 
    au BufWritePost *.pl,*.pm !perl -wcIlib %

    [download]
    Warnings are important. -Ilib is probably also important, but maybe only I do editing in the root directory of my projects.
    My criteria for good software:
    1. Does it work?
    2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
