Perl syntax compiles?

Do you mean perl -c?  It ought to be sufficient to set the variable
compile-command, perhaps from a mode hook:

(defun douglas-perl-setup ()
  (setq compile-command (format "perl -c %s" (buffer-file-name))))
(add-hook 'perl-mode-hook 'douglas-perl-setup)

If you use cperl mode instead of perl mode, replace perl-mode-hook
with cperl-mode-hook.
