NAME

6       B::ConstOptree - Optree constant folding for $^O, $^V, and $]
7

SYNOPSIS

9        $ perl -MO=ConstOptree -MO=Deparse} -e \
10               'require ($^O eq "MSWin32" ? "Win32.pm" : "POSIX.pm")'
11        require 'POSIX.pm';
12        -e syntax OK
13

DESCRIPTION

15       This module propagates constant folding for $^O, $^V, and $] variables
16       by installing custom PL_check handlers for numeric and string
17       comparison opcodes.  In the handlers, references to $^O, $^V, and $]
18       arguments are replaced with constant terms like "linux", v5.16.1, and
19       5.016001, respectively.
20

CAVEATS

22       Since regexp matching is not subject to constant folding, expressions
23       like "$^O =~ /win32/i" will not be reduced.
