NAME

Module::Compile - Perl Module Optimization

SYNOPSIS

package Foo;
use Module::Optimize -base;

sub pmc_optimize {
    my ($self, $source) = @_;
    # Convert perl5 $source into semantically equivalent $compiled_output
    return $compiled_output;
}

In Bar.pm:

package Bar;

use Foo;

or lexically:

package Bar;

{
    use Foo;
    ...
}

To compile Bar.pm into Bar.pmc:

perl -c Bar.pm

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a system for writing modules that compile other Perl modules.

Modules that use these compilation modules get compiled into some altered form the first time they are run. The result is cached into .pmc files.

Perl has native support for .pmc files. It always checks for them, before loading a .pm file.

You get the following benefits:
