PAR::Filter::Bytecode(3)

NAME
PAR::Filter::Bytecode - Bytecode filter

SYNOPSIS
    PAR::Filter::Bytecode->apply(\$code); # transforms $code

DESCRIPTION
This filter uses B::Bytecode to turn the script into comment-free, architecture-specific Perl bytecode, and uses ByteLoader to load back on execution.

For pp users, please add an extra -M option, like this:

    pp -f Bytecode -M ByteLoader

Otherwise, the implicit dependency on ByteLoader will not be detected.

CAVEATS
This backend exhibits all bugs listed in B::Bytecode, and then some.

Bytecode support is considered to be extremely fragile on Perl versions earlier than 5.8.1, and is still far from robust (as of this writing).
