G'day pankaj verma, Welcome to the monastery. "perlmod: BEGIN, UNITCHECK, CHECK, INIT and END" may be sufficient for your needs. It contains an example script that reports what's happening from where the interpreter starts the compilation phase (`BEGIN`); the various stages between the compilation and execution phases (`UNITCHECK`, `CHECK` and `INIT`); through runtime to where the interpreter exits (`END`). If you're after more technical details, see the links in "perl: Internals and C Language Interface". You'll find the perlinterp link, recommended by LanX above, in this section. -- Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Every interpreter is pretty-much the same: the source-code is assimilated (from its various origin files) and parsed to create an internal data-structure which is then what drives the `perlguts` of the interpreter itself. When you read about "compile-time," that's the time spent building that structure.	[reply]
