I believe some do (perl) and others don't (Tcl/Tk). The advantage of compiling before running are limited, since most errors are in logic rather than syntax.
This very much depends on the syntactic structure of your language. Admittedly with Perl almost everything seems to be valid, and the same is true to a lesser degree with Python, but certainly languages like ML and Haskell or even markup languages like JML tend to make most logic errors in to syntactic errors.
