I just found http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-Strict, which was written by one of my co-workers. Among other cool things, it has a C<syntax_ok> function which does the same thing. It still uses backticks and redirection which may not be too portable, but it will suit my needs. Still, a C<compile_ok> function seems like a sensible addition to the Test::More package. Thanks for the feedback everyone.
