You can also compile the code with

perl -c -w program

I have a compile script that determines the type of file
(usually by reading the shebang) and calls the appropriate
script compile option - perl's as above and

ksh -n file

and

ksh93 -n file

for ksh and ksh93. The script is called by hitting F4
in vim. Sure saves a lot of debug time.
