To compile a Perl program foo.pl
with the C backend, use:
perlcc -o foo foo.pl
To produce a cross-reference report of the line numbers at which all variables, subroutines, and formats are defined and used, use:
perl -MO=Xref,-d foo.pl
To see what Perl compiles your program into, use:
perl -MO=Deparse foo.pl
This shows exactly the precedence of Perl operators:
perl -MO=Deparse,-p foo.pl
The compiler backends are experimental.
