[ID 20000424.002] sub END not called after some compile errors

This is a bug report for perl from jonas@astral.paranormal.o.se,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.28 running under perl v5.6.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

There is a incinsistent change of behaviour between v5.005_03 and v5.6.0

Only v5.005_03 calls END for this:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
END {print "After\n"}
priint "error";
__END__

But both calls END for this compile error:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
END {print "After\n"}
compile error now;
__END__

I would prefere the END to be called so that it could clean up all
things done in BEGIN.
