in reply to Doing a standalone executable (and even a binary!)

Perl6 will make this even better: It compiles to bytecode running on a language-independent virtual machine, so it is possible to use modules from different languages within perl if they have a port onto these virtual-machine. There were great efforts in the past (and today) to do this for python, lua and different others (including php AFAIR). Native compiler-backends will just be a question of time.
