I can't see any difference in the work of `M-x compile'
if I use

 (add-hook 'perl-mode-hook
            (lambda ()
              (set (make-local-variable 'compile-command)
                   (format "perl %s"
                           (file-name-nondirectory buffer-file-name)))))

(I've wrote it in a file and have loaded it with 'load-file').


In both cases (with and without it) after using
 `M-x compile' emacs suggests 'make -k'
and behaves in the same way.
