in reply to Why has perl never been a compiled language...

Actually, I compile PERL all the time, using p2exe. Yes, it is for NT. The compiled file even if print "hello world\n"; is all it does, is 650k. You can compile it with a -small which compiles it with a seperate dll, making the actual exe smaller.
