Does anyone have any hints as to how this would be done?

Why would you want to do that? Why not just write your program in C++
to begin with?
I think an even better question would be, 'Why not have Perl compiled
to intermediate byte code?'
or, 'Why not have Perl compiled to native instruction sets?'
Actually, I'm waiting for someone to attempt to implement Perl to run
on both the JVM
and the .NET platforms. Think about it ... Perl
running as Java byte code and/or as MSIL byte code! In these times,
much, much better than compiled as C++ source.

Once upon a time the answer was "because it's hard to do properly and
perl runs on many hardware platforms and you'd have to write a compiler
for each of them". Nowadays x86 and x86_64 are probably the only
important hardware platforms for perl, so what remains is "because it's
hard to do properly."
So I must be doing something wrong with my Perl programs on PowerPC?
