1) How do I execute a perl file that I already converted to bytecode (perl -MO=Bytecode hello.pl)? Specifically, how do I use the byteload_fh () function mentioned in the docs? Even if you are not sure, I would appreciate a guess as to how to experiment, since I am not good with filehandles.

2)I found the ByteLoader.pm module, but I'm not sure if I'm using it correctly, and if I am, I can't get it to work all the time (even with a simple helloworld script, sometimes it works, sometimes not, beats me....). Basically I just open up the file containing the bytecode, add the following to the top of the file:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use ByteLoader 0.03;

[download]
after which the bytecode follows. I would rather use byteload_fh() if I only knew how.

3) will converting to bytecode include the perl modules that I have "used" in my script? or does that only happen with a full C (perlcc) compile?
