Is there a way to compile Perl to a native binary?  Why do you see
that (compile Java to a native binary) as a requirement before starting
a Java policy?  I'm curious, because if there is such a Perl utility
I know a lot of people who would want to try it (no sarcasm, I'm serious).
At the same time, if there isn't, I would not say the Perl policy is
no good.

Most of your other points are good, I'm not sure I agree with them all,
but I'd really like to see this one clarified.
