Nice idea in principle but the real world is kinda complex.

> =code perl

Which Perl?  I have several different versions installed.  With which
options?  Environment variables? 

> =code C
>         printf("Hello World\n");

If I have a hello.c with those contents it will most certainly not
compile... and if compiled, with which compiler?  Compiler options?
Etc.

> =code shell

Which shell?  sh? csh? bash? tcsh? zsh? ksh?  Etc.
