Re: Re: How is a perl program processed ?

I will like to add another question then, does perl do JIT compilation then? or does it compile the entire program at startup and loads the entire code in memory?

regards,
Abhishek.

The optree is created once and only once unless things like B::Generate are active in which case manual alterations are possible (and of course eval and require also compile new code). Perl doesn't do JIT - people smarter than I can speak about Parrot's JIT.	[reply]
