Perl is not interpreted. This is a common misconception. A program written in Perl is compiled into an optree in its first stage of running. This optree is then executed by perl. The best place to go looking is probably "Programming Perl" (aka the Camel). Is there something specific you want to know, or are you just curious? -- Chas.
