Perhaps use Module::Compile instead of Filter::Simple

BENEFITS

Module::Compile compilers gives you the following benefits:

• Ability to mix many source filterish modules in a much more sane manner. Module::Compile controls the compilation process, calling each compiler at the right time with the right data.
• Ability to ship precompiled modules without shipping Module::Compile and the compiler modules themselves.
• Easier debugging of compiled/filtered code. The .pmc has the real code you want to see.
• Zero additional runtime penalty after compilation, because perl has already been doing the .pmc check on every module load since 1999!

You forgot to mention that I(ngy) wrote Module::Compile!!!

I started with Module::Compile but then realized it's really only made for modules, not Perl .pl files.
So I switched to Filter::Simple for now.

It's likely that I'll switch to Module::Compile later, once I get the thing a little further along.

Maybe let the user select with something like use assign::0 -compile;
