PAR::Filter::Bytecode - Bytecode filter
Contents
Caveats
This backend exhibits all bugs listed in B::Bytecode, and then some.
Bytecode support is considered to be extremely fragile on Perl versions earlier than 5.8.1, and is still
far from robust (as of this writing).
Bytecode is not supported by perl 5.9 and later.

Thisfilterisdeprecated.TheB::Bytecodecodehasbeenremovedfromthenewestdevelopmentseriesofperlandwillnotbeincludedinperl5.10anymore.PleasehavealookatSteveHay'sPAR::Filter::Cryptomoduleifyouwanttohideyoursources.
This filter uses B::Bytecode to turn the script into comment-free, architecture-specific Perl bytecode,
and uses ByteLoader to load back on execution.
For pp users, please add an extra -M option, like this:
pp -f Bytecode -M ByteLoader
Otherwise, the implicit dependency on ByteLoader will not be detected.
