in reply to perl compiling not working

The test results for B::Bytecode, the bytecode compiler backend for perlcc, show a that most perl versions from 5.8 to 5.11 fail on the same tests: 7 9-12 with threads enabled. Without threads and 5.8 the results are much better.

The failing tests involve anonymous subs, split and index.

If you could send me a tar of your files I could make better recommendations.
