This sounds familiar. I'm sure we've discussed this before. (Update: we have, at "•Re: (bbfu) (perl -c runs code) Re3: syntax check from within perl" and "•Re: Require everything between innermost <code></code> tags to compile.").

Mostly, it's a problem because it's a security nightmare (BEGIN blocks execute even on -c), and because <code> is used for more than just Perl.

Sorry, next idea, please.
