Ah, BEGIN....

So is that an oversight in the B::Deparse backend module or is there a useful reason perl -c runs the BEGIN code?

Sure you show the warning in perlrun, but shouldn't there be a warning label or something on B::Deparse?

    Every use happens at begin time including the execution of import

    You can't compile without executing use and obviously you can't decompile without compiling.

    Its the parser that runs BEGIN blocks, not the deparser.
