Unfortunately not. The first line of the compiled package is:
use Parse::RecDescent;
Also P:RD is dependent on Text::Balanced.
Parse::Yapp allows you to create a standalone parser. On a project that is
unrelated to inline I am planning to port a P::RD parser to P::Y to see if
there is any speed improvement. The bundling feature is also an attraction.
Hopefully, I can report back after that.
