Alter View statements in PL/SQL?

I'd really love to be able to create a stored proc that contains a whole bunch of ALTER VIEW scripts (compile only). Does PL/SQL allow this? I can't seem to get it into a proc. It blows up on the ALTER. Any suggestions for a general format of the proc if it is possible? Thanks.

Was attempting:
Create or Replace Procedure TEST_COMP_VIEWS() as Begin

    alter view prod.v_view_name1 compile;
    alter view prod.v_view_name2 compile;
    alter view prod.v_view_name3 compile;
