Observation 1: You can let the compiler out if the source doesn't contain the letter 'e'! Observation 2: Normal programs can be written without the letter 'e'. 'E' doesn't count.

      Config.pl counts as source of course. If it doesn't contain 'e' you are in the clear! You must compile it too (beforehand ;-) . But if it is a config-file as the name suggests, therefore hopefully written by the program, the compiler could check the format and make a readroutine.

        I imagine you could put a switch on the compiler call that says "I'm not doing evals or dos or requires, so you can leave out the Perl source compiler."
