Sure, except...
1) You lose your readable source code (discussions of B::Deparse as
a viable alternative > /dev/null)
2) You have to make provisions to distribute your documentation
seperately.
3) It makes it harder to bundle non-Perl things, like configuration
files, images, sound files, etc... If you want to send those along
with the bytecode you windup needing a par-style utility anyway.
4) What Brenden said
5) Do YOU have a stable bytecode compiler?? I don't.
Perhaps it wasn't clear, I don't mean to have par as part of 6.0, I
mean to have it out, like, maybe next month if I decide to work on it.
