This is a compile-time error on both my Windows and Linux machines.
Which is a bit odd because the documentation says it is a run-time error...

You can make it into a run-time error by changing the code to:
my $zero = 0;
my $err = 5/$zero;

I can guess that the 5/0 is simple enough to be caught in the
compilation stage, while using a variable forces it to way for the
runtime stage.
