No, you cannot capture compile-time errors at runtime. You'll need to make
sure your code compiles before you run it. Note that you can capture such
errors if you do perldoc -f require, perldoc -f do (for a filename), string
eval "", etc. at run-time, in which case perl 5 invokes its compiler to
compile some code at run-time.
But for run-time exceptions block eval { ... } should work just as well.
