There isn't a "current state". What would you like
{
my $start = halting_problem_to_detect_at_compile_time();
sub woofer {$start++}
}
to do?
Now, if you want to run a deparse *after* this code has been executed, it's
perfectly possible to get the current value of $start, although I'm not sure
whether or not B::Deparse currently does that. But to do it at compile time -
no, not much chance of that.
