Re: [MacPerl] Byte Compiler for MacPerl

["Mark Manning/Muniz Eng." <markem@flash.net>]

I don't know - being able to rapidly create an application via Perl and
then having it generate C/C++ (whichever) code to do that could really
make Perl (and on our Macs MacPerl) become the language of choice to
develop code in.  Especially if/when Perl can be used with X Windows
and/or OpenGL.

For one thing - no more worrying about malloc's and free's.  That's a
big bug which we are continually chasing down in people's code.  Since
Perl can handle this fairly well - it makes sense to use it to create a
program so you don't have to worry about that aspect of the language.
