$ find files/ -type f -name \*.pm -print0 | xargs -r0t -I% perl -c %
perl -c files/Quirks/ghc.pm
files/Quirks/ghc.pm syntax OK
perl -c files/Quirks.pm
String found where operator expected at files/Quirks.pm line 2196, near
""Upstrem moved to unversioned tarballs, use the plan9port (same upstream)
package instead""
(Missing semicolon on previous line?)
syntax error at files/Quirks.pm line 2196, near ""Upstrem moved to unversioned
tarballs, use the plan9port (same upstream) package instead""
