I wonder how you are going to keep the Perl run-time features, e.g. eval, while producing the binary code?! However, if you succeed It will be a great boost to Perl developers(facing the C-family rivals)!!!
Goodluck.
Comment on Re: Pre-position musing on "standalone executables"
Turning a program into a standalone executable won't disable any perl features. The whole of the base runtime will have to be linked in anyway to make sure everything works, so the machinery to handle eval will be there. (Though eval'd code may not run as fast as the compiled code, as it'll have to be evaluated by one of the interpreter cores)
