Checking code with `perl` is disabled by default, as `perl` code cannot be checked without executing it. +Specifically, we use the `-c` flag to see if `perl` code compiles. This does +not execute all of the code in a file, but it does run `BEGIN` and `CHECK` +blocks. See `perl --help` and https://stackoverflow.com/a/12908487/406224 See |g:ale_linters|. |
