in thread Can you create another perl interpreter within the current script?

I guess he wants to import some subs without loading whole package. Sounds like a very crazy idea.

One possible solution is creation of separate process so it can compile that package without execution. See source code of package O to find how to do it. B::Deparse can be used to obtain source code of those subs.

    That's close to what I want, and is probably going to be the most practical. I get the feeling I can't compile the optree and then selectively stop execution in the same script. I could just wait til TheDamian has the time to create and finish Parse::Perl ... hmmm.
    Thanks for the input IlyaM!
