You should be more specific which kind of optimization at compile time you are missing, I doubt there is much potential left.

Perl has dynamic typing which means higher performance is only possible by JIT-ing once the types are (statistically) known (i.e."code paths" are recorded at run-time)

The other way is explicit typing of variables by the author, allowing to optimize crucial sub-routines at compile time.

JS (JIT) resp Typescript (Typing) can do both now.

But as I said, please show us a way to improve ahead of time compilation of vanilla Perl without types.

edit

Furthermore I'm not sure if Perl can even write such optimized machine code without being bundled with a C-compiler.

Theoretically once could use typed variables to create Inline::C blocks. But I'm ignorant about other possibilities here...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
