:) yeah I know, sometimes I'm having strange ideas..

However, as you write .. "You'd need to transform the ASM syntax a little to make it valid Perl code."

There might exist something out there doing exactly this.

Inline C, I don't like the idea of having external dependencies at run (compile) time.

Much to many attack vectors.

And there's also the point, there are really bad things possible within perl.

e.g. The tie()s That Bind,
meaning to store a var within x will not necessarily store the variable within x..

so, the control flow can be fuzzed with, in really hard to predict ways.

.. I'm thinking just now about parallelization..
