Discussion about Perl's "compiler" in TheCommandLine podcast

I was drawn to last week's podcast episode of The Command Line because they mentioned my name (thank you, EveryZing!). When I listened to the entire podcast, I heard some mis-statements about Perl as being strictly an interpreter, so I added comments to the show, as well as subscribing to the show for updates.

Well, it looks like my comments made it into the initial content in this week's show, which delighted me immensely. It's good to make sure people understand how compiled Perl has already existed for 20 years, and will be even more explicit in Perl 6.
