Compile perl code/files via STDIN

[mseele]

yes you're write, i want to provide my code by typing
directly from the command line, rather than executing a pre-existing
file containing perl code.
but i don't want to end the perl process after compilation of one
file, i want to use the -c option, get the result and want to put new
perl code into the perl process a later time. how can i do this? is it
actually possible?

*Who* is right? A little context please - quote the relevant parts of the

start of a new thread.

, i want to provide my code by typing

directly from the command line, rather than executing a pre-existing
file containing perl code.

Why? I'm serious - Take a step back, and tell us what problem you're trying
to solve using this approach.

Why do you want to provide your code by typing directly from the
command line, rather than executing a pre-existing file containing
perl code?

That is, what do you hope to gain be being able to do that?

i want to use the -c option, get the result

The -c command line switch does not _have_ a "result", other than
perhaps some output on STDERR.

Are you thinking that it makes the byte codes available somehow?

and want to put new
perl code into the perl process a later time. how can i do this?

The way the FAQ suggests.

is it
actually possible?

You are expected to check the Perl FAQ *before* posting to the
Perl newsgroup:

perldoc -q compile

How can I compile my Perl program into byte code or C?
