Compiling Perl?


From what I understand, you are able to compile Perl programs and get an executale as you do in c/cpp. I've looked for some info on this, but turned up emtpy-handed. So, is it possible to compile perl programs into executables, and if so, how can I go about doing it?

Thanks.

Boy, compiling perl is mighty strange. A 107 b perl code file compiles into a 890 kb executable. It generates a pretty big source file too.
