in reply to What happened to perlcc?
perlcc has been removed from Perl effective Perl 5.10. It and the underlying modules have always been out of date, broken and unmaintained.
Officially (from the 5.10.0 RC2's perl5100delta),
perlcc, the byteloader and the supporting modules (B::C, B::CC, B::Bytecode, etc.) are no longer distributed with the perl sources. Those experimental tools have never worked reliably, and, due to the lack of volunteers to keep them in line with the perl interpreter developments, it was decided to remove them instead of shipping a broken version of those. The last version of those modules can be found with perl 5.9.4.
However the B compiler framework stays supported in the perl core, as with the more useful modules it has permitted (among others, B::Deparse and B::Concise).
