As already mentioned, there are already alternative parsers available, like PPI

For running that source exactly like in the original you'd need to compile the source to OP-Code (and namespaces, etc.)

How this OP-code is interpreted (here the usage of the word is correct), i.e. either from Perl's runtime engine in full speed or by an emulation implemented in Perl, is another question.

Parser, compiler and runtime interpreter are very different beasts, which IMHO should be approached independently.

Keep in mind that Perl's compile and runtime are interwoven.

Every BEGIN-block is injecting a run into compilation, and every eval is triggering a compilation while running.
