So far, so good.

Why not just:

(add-hook 'perl-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (set (make-local-variable 'compile-command)
                 (format "perl %s -cw %s"
                         (if (eq window-system 'w32) "-I%SP%" "-I$SP")
                         (file-name-nondirectory buffer-file-name)))))

Can perl-mode and cperl-mode be used simultaneously?

When compile-command is buffer local, you can just bind a key to the
normal compile command.
