Any specific reason why you want to fiddle around with optimizations?

In any event,
http://www.mail-archive.com/perl5-porters@perl.org/msg23098.html and the
ensuing thread may be of interest -- Tim Bunce asked about the "best GCC
compiler options for Intel (perl & apache)" and got some answers.
http://www.mail-archive.com/perl5-porters@perl.org/msg23387.html is a
summary of some of his findings, with a sample gcc and a sample pgcc command
line at the end.
http://www.mail-archive.com/perl5-porters@perl.org/thrd7.html#23098 is
(currently) the thread overview.

Cheers,
