If it's not "syntactially" correct; it's not code. It's either unused, or data provided to something that is code. I need to understand the code; then I can learn what it does with the data.
Yes - but what you seem to be saying is that debugging somehow becomes a great deal more dangerous if you cannot syntax check your program without running BEGIN blocks, etc.
If that is what you're saying then I don't understand it - since it is manifestly not true in my experience.
If that isn't what you're saying then you need to restate it so poor fools like me can understand what you're getting at.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
