Malcom Beattie's perl compiler ("perlcc") updated to 5.10, 5.12, 5.14 and 5.15, with most bugs fixed (also for 5.6. and 5.8) and new features added. It compiles to C or platform-compatible Bytecode.

Releases are at http://search.cpan.org/dist/B-C/

Known issues:

If perl Makefile.PL misses lib/B/Asmdata.pm: This is a generated file per perl and also kept there for BSD. Usually make clean or a second perl Makefile.PL fixes that.

You may need "sudo make install" to cp cc_runtime.h to archlib/CORE since 5.15
