Supercompiled Perl

[Jordan Dimov]

  Is anyone here familiar with the concept of supercompilation, as
described by prof. Valentin Turchin in [1] for example?  Turchin has
founded a start up (www.supercompilers.com) with the purpose of developing
a supercompiler for Java, speeding up Java code by a factor of 100.  

  Is Perl suitable for this kind of program transformation?
