I tried out this strange looking code, and perl -c told me: 
Bareword found where operator expected at /tmp/monk.pl line 4, near "-
+I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/sun4-solaris/CORE   " srcdir"
  (Might be a runaway multi-line "" string starting on line 2)
 (Missing operator before srcdir?)
Unquoted string "srcdir" may clash with future reserved word at /tmp/m
+onk.pl line 4.
syntax error at /tmp/monk.pl line 4, near "-I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00
+503/sun4-solaris/CORE   " srcdir"
Reversed .= operator at /tmp/monk.pl line 4.
Unquoted string "sh" may clash with future reserved word at /tmp/monk.
+pl line 4.
Bareword found where operator expected at /tmp/monk.pl line 5, near "/
+usr"
  (Might be a runaway multi-line // string starting on line 4)
 (Missing operator before usr?)
Unquoted string "usr" may clash with future reserved word at /tmp/monk
+.pl line 5.
Unrecognized file test: -I at /tmp/monk.pl line 5.
