No. From `perldoc perlrun`:
-c causes Perl to check the syntax of the program and then exit
without executing it. Actually, it will execute "BEGIN", "CHECK", and
"use" blocks, because these are considered as occurring outside the
execution of your program. "INIT" and "END" blocks, however, will be
skipped.

I search through all my emails, programming perl, perl best practices
and PerlMonks but did not find anything.
