perlcc - generate executables from Perl programs
$ perlcc hello # Compiles into executable 'a.out' $ perlcc -o hello hello.pl # Compiles into executable 'hello' $ perlcc -O file # Compiles using the optimised C backend $ perlcc -B file # Compiles using the bytecode backend $ perlcc -c file # Creates a C file, 'file.c' $ perlcc -S -o hello file # Creates a C file, 'file.c', # then compiles it to executable 'hello' $ perlcc -c out.c file # Creates a C file, 'out.c' from 'file' $ perlcc -e 'print q//' # Compiles a one-liner into 'a.out' $ perlcc -c -e 'print q//' # Creates a C file 'a.out.c' $ perlcc -r hello # compiles 'hello' into 'a.out', runs 'a.out'. $ perlcc -r hello a b c # compiles 'hello' into 'a.out', runs 'a.out'. # with arguments 'a b c' $ perlcc hello -log c # compiles 'hello' into 'a.out' logs compile # log into 'c'.
perlcc
creates standalone executables from Perl programs, using the
code generators provided by the the B manpage module. At present, you may
either create executable Perl bytecode, using the -B
option, or
generate and compile C files using the standard and 'optimised' C
backends.
The code generated in this way is not guaranteed to work. The whole
codegen suite (perlcc
included) should be considered very
experimental. Use for production purposes is strongly discouraged.
