Hey guys,
I just noticed, newer Perl 5.10 distributions don't have the B/Bytecode module included anymore. This is what we used in the past as the default Compile command[1] for the filetype Perl. The idea was to perform a syntax check this way.
It seems with 5.10 this module doesn't exist anymore or at least isn't shipped anymore with the default Perl distribution. But instead, Perl 5.10 has a -c command line option which also does a syntax check. I guess this is enough for our needs to be used as the *default* Compile command.
Since Perl 5.10 isn't really new anymore, I think we could change the Compile command.
But I guess some of you, Nick, Dominic, ... know Perl much better than me and so can maybe judge a bit better.
Any opinions?
