High Performance Perl

[osfameron]

People think Perl is interpreted / slow / etc., so let's show that it's

• fast (enough)
• compiled
• easy to optimize (NYTProf etc.)
• ways to handle startup overhead (Moo)
• (having good Async support is also a win for performance)

If somebody could point to some good docs on XS / direct optree mangling stuff that'd be cool too, thats something I always struggled to get into because its just so fucking awful :/
