in thread Perl compiler request - flogging the dead horse!

OK, so basically it can compile "P" but "erl" isn't supported.

    Compile P and link it back in, erl never knows the difference but your code runs way faster.

    Also, "isn't supported" is wrong; P is the only part that can be statically compiled, erl must be dynamically interpreted. Eventually we can do JIT dynamic compilation on erl and combine with static compilation on P to get the fastest possible, then we will be faster than Java and close to C. Then I will stop flogging the "dead horse", because it will be a live Camel and Roadrunner!
