Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.6
Severity: wishlist

When packing software that contains Perl programs, the upstream author may
now be running the latest Perl. In contrast, the Debian follows closely
Perl releases.

I would be nice if there were a pedantic level check in Lintian to notify
about Perl scrips that fail sanity check of:

    perl -cw PROGRAM

This way developers could notice and forward issues to upstream as they
package the software.

Closing this now as it is generally not doable in Lintian.  However, you
can implement this via a "third-party Lintian check"[1].
