but could perlcc be useful here?
I don't think so. The Perl 5 porters have already decided against the maintenance of perlcc and other tools like JPL. Then what remains is the sound advice by diotalevi in this message to p5p:
perlcc doesn't work well in any version. You probably want to consider PAR instead. http://par.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
and this explanation by 5.9.4 pumpking, Rafael.
The bytecode compiler and loader and the C compiler were removed because it's a hassle to maintain, they don't work well, didn't match their promises, and are superceded by other solutions (like PAR).
