Are the references to anonymous code blocks in Perl always constant, because they are fixed at compile time?

No and no; its just another variable. consider

$ perl -le " for(1..3){ my$f=$_; print\$f; }" SCALAR(0x99b824) SCALAR(0x99b824) SCALAR(0x99b824)

versus

$ perl -le " sub ff { my $f = $_; return \$f } print ff() for 1..3;" SCALAR(0x3f9bcc) SCALAR(0x3f9bbc) SCALAR(0x3f9bcc)

What perl does, how perl optimizes, how perl reuses allocated memory, depends on what the code does
