This is a Perl FAQ.  Check out:

http://perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/pod/perlfaq3.html#How-can-I-compile-my-Perl-program-into-byte-code-or-C-

The short answer is that it won't help very much.  You can learn a lot
about the subject by using Google to search through the archives of
comp.lang.perl.misc, or try searching Perlmonks.com
