That was what I was driving at. I know that I could code that in 2 or 3 opcodes using nothing but bitwise operations if hand-coding. If the zero flag were set with a simple load then I could code it in a single opcode (excluding the jump codes.)

The answer to the question "Can we do this?" is always an emphatic "Yes!" Just give me enough time and money.

    I think we may be at cross purposes here. I'm talking about perl VM high-level opcodes, not assembler level machine instructions.
