That sharp distinction is still a claim.  Pointing to some files 
doesn't prove your point but example code does.  In python i do

>>> import compiler
>>> p=compiler.parseFile('test.py')    
>>> p                                    # Parse tree
Module(None, Stmt([Printnl([Const('hello world')], None)]))
>>> p.filename='test.py' # fixup
>>> c=compiler.pycodegen.ModuleCodeGenerator(p).getCode()
>>> c
<code object <module> at 0x828a720, file "test.py", line 2>
>>> exec c
hello world
>>>

Can you show me the equivalent of this in perl *in real code*? 
Even just the parsing step?  Or is it to painful to actually do it? 

just some questions,
