SPUG: Perl Compiler / Byte Code

Is it possible to "compile" a slew of .pm files (modules) into 
platform and machine independant byte code, and actually
be able to use them ?

I assume you'd end up with one big compiled file, and then
a small .pl wrapper that basically loads it, and can execute.

It would make delivery of  large and complex CGI programs
a heck of a lot easier, and I'd assume, a bit faster executing
as well.

I've monkeyed with the B:: stuff, but can't really make heads
or tails of it.   Has anyone been successful?
