Re: embedded perl: check for compile errors without executing

I'm just an amateur, but perlembed shows code like

#  SV* my_eval_sv(SV *sv, I32 croak_on_error)

# if (croak_on_error && SvTRUE(ERRSV))
# croak(SvPVx_nolen(ERRSV));

for errors.

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

thanx zentara, but it seems to me that this is only available once the eval_sv has been called, i.e. the code has been executed. I would like to know about any compile errors without executing the code; similar to the command line "perl -c -e 'xxx'", but in an 'embedded way' I could write to file, make a system call, redirect the output to a file,.. but there is certainly a much easier more beautiful solution).
