My mistake. I'm learning Perl this week. :-) I read something
about compiling and thought it was like Python. Actually, the
interpreter who does this like Python is eLisp.

Perl _does_ compile the stuff, but on load time (it doesn't
usually save the compiled tree to disk). However, it is a
planned feature for 5.005 (if I got the numbers right).
