There is an integrated compiler in perl5. And there are external compilers.

You will not easily see what the integrated compiler in perl5 does, but you see some result with B::Concise. All the ex-OPs there are optimized out already.

$ perl -MO=Concise -e'1+1'
3  <@> leave[1 ref] vKP/REFC ->(end)
1     <0> enter ->2
2     <;> nextstate(main 1 -e:1) v:{ ->3
-     <0> ex-const v ->3

E.g. 1=1 was constant folded here.

$ perl -MO=Concise -e'$a=1+$a'
8  <@> leave[1 ref] vKP/REFC ->(end)
1     <0> enter ->2
2     <;> nextstate(main 1 -e:1) v:{ ->3
7     <2> sassign vKS/2 ->8
5        <2> add[t1] sK/2 ->6
3           <$> const(IV 1) s ->4
-           <1> ex-rv2sv sK/1 ->5
4              <$> gvsv(*a) s ->5
-        <1> ex-rv2sv sKRM*/1 ->7
6           <$> gvsv(*a) s ->7

All the sv references rv2sv were optimized to direct gvsv accesses.

perlcc is the backend for 3 external compilers.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
