<p><u>perlcc</u><br>Did everybody give up on it?<br>
Is it frequently used and somehow I just missed out. <br>Are the people who really really need binaries addicted to some not-for-free vendor "solution".</p>
<p>There are a number of threads in the monastery dating 2001 & 2002 on the topic, so I would assume most people have gone through and made decisions regarding perlcc (see [Any alternatives to perlcc?? Please],[Error compiling perl program with perlcc with DBI],[PerlCC -advice on how to],[perlcc?]).</p>
<p>All the mentioned perlmonk nodes point out that it's best not to compile code and instead use an interpreter; <u>I agree with this point entirely</u>. My question is more about whether perlcc is still supported and what people ended up doing in the past 5-6 years since they wanted to compile their perl code. </p>
<p>I googled <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=perlcc+doom&btnG=Google+Search">PerlCC and doom</a> the second item in the list is the perlmonk node [Compiling Perl?] (circa 2000). I didn't really expect perlcc and doom to have any correlation; but then again, that's why I'm posting this question.</p>
