Make only cares about the exit status of the shell; the shell eats them in the for loop. Try perl -c -Mstrict $$pl || exit 1

(I'm not a make wizard but I might try to create a "perl -c" target for each of the files in question. Well, a transformation rule perhaps. No idea on how to achieve that...)
