Re: How to do perl -c inside perl?

[dave_the_m]

You might be able to get away with something like:

for my $code ('$x+$y', '$x+') {
    printf "code=[%-5s] syntax=%s\n",
    $code,
    eval('return 1; ' . $code) ? "ok" : "bad: $@";
}

But you need to consider the effects of things like BEGIN blocks.
