The Perl compiler's really more of a proof of concept thing (see
perldoc -q 'compile my Perl').  Not to mention most of the
perl-to-binary packages really just package up the source with a
speciallized perl interpreter in one single file.

Granted this will change with Perl 6 and Parrot when *cough* it comes
out and you'll be able to just ship Parrot bytecode.
