NAME

       B::ConstOptree - Optree constant folding for $^O, $^V, and $]

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.
