PAR::Filter::Bytecode

NAME

PAR::Filter::Bytecode - Bytecode filter

    PAR::Filter::Bytecode->apply(\$code); # transforms $code

This filter uses the B::Bytecode manpage to turn the script into comment-free, architecture-specific Perl bytecode, and uses the ByteLoader manpage to load back on execution.

For pp users, please add an extra -M option, like this:

    pp -f Bytecode -M ByteLoader

Otherwise, the implicit dependency on ByteLoader will not be detected.

This backend exhibits all bugs listed in the B::Bytecode manpage, and then some.

Bytecode support is considered to be extremely fragile on Perl versions earlier than 5.8.1, and is still far from robust (as of this writing).
