SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

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

CAVEATS

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