in reply to Automatically Converting Perl to C

It's basically impossible to write an automatic converter from Perl to C without also removing the possibility of significant speed gains.

Perl has many features that C does not provide, and providing those features within C means slowing down C to the level that Perl is now. Perl is written in C.

    Please see my response to ikegami. My end goal is to get an executable that is harder to reverse-engineer than perl2exe produces. I do not mind if the resulting speed is the same or even if I loose a little from the execution speed of my current Perl program
