    I don't think that perlcc is a good way for executables! Like the POD says:

    "The code generated in this way is not guaranteed to work. The whole codegen suite (perlcc included) should be considered very experimental. Use for production purposes is strongly discouraged."

    If you are just testing ot trying to improve perlcc, good look. ;-P

    But if what you want is to create executables from it the only difference from perl2exe, perlapp, tinyperl, App::Packer, and different tools for publishing is that from perlcc you run your code from a bytecode, and the speedup is insignificant, unless you are loading giant scripts! The parser of Perl, that will generate a bytecode for every script, is very good and fast, we don't need to avoid it!
