Call perl with backticks for each file (as in `perl -c $filename`;). eval isn't meant as a code checking system--it's for trapping errors and running dynamically-generated code.

Also, be warned that any file with a BEGIN block will still have code executed under -c, so don't run this on any ol' code you find.

I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.
