Options to control haml(1) processing?

When I run the following code:

  ...
  - if flash[:notice]
    .notice= flash[:notice]
  ...

through haml(1), I get this nastygram:

  NameError on line 26: undefined local variable or method
`flash' for
#<Object:0x6f9844>
    Use --trace to see traceback

I suspect that this simply reflects the fact that that I'm
not running
Haml under Rails, so
no "flash" array has been defined.  This is
understandable, but a bit
annoying, given that
I'm just using haml(1) to check my HAML syntax, etc.

I'd like to see one or more options that would allow me to
control
haml(1) processing.  I
don't know much about the innards of Haml, so I won't try to
be
specific, but limiting the
processing to a syntax check might be one reasonable
option.
