Hey there Sankarshan
Well Perl is definitely multiplatform, but if you want a compiler, you want
to burn your hands, unless you want to look at the Parrot in Perl6 that is.
For compiling Perl, there is a tool called perlcc that comes with all versions
of Perl. Though its not the best, you can use the B (short for Backend)
modules to convert to ASM, C, C optimized. But thats what perlcc does
internally either way :)
If you want something better, you can look at perl2exe (indigostar.com) dont
get fooled by the name it works on *nix as well as Win32. Only problem with
either of these compilers is that they essentially ember the complete perl
binary with your code so your binary is the same size as perl on your
platform.
Quite honestly, code in C if you want it to be multi platform :) Thats what i
had to do at the end of it ..
Well i dont debug much, i just trace/strace when i need it at times. Though i
do know of some (2) people who insist on reverse engineering their binaries
to ASM and then checking the code for errors because they dont trust the
complier, perhaps you are so inclined , i am trusting person and will
certainly never do this !
