This is an issue[1] that SublimeLinter ran into when syntax checking Perl modules. Code in a BEGIN block (which gets executed at compile-time) could actually delete files when using `perl -c` to handle syntax checking:

BEGIN { `rm -rf $ENV{HOME}` }

They had to switch to using static analysis rather than relying on Perl's built in syntax checking to avoid executing code in BEGIN blocks.
