I believe that this is from times as RTTI did require that the main
program was a proper C++ program as well (which perl isn't, it is a
plain C program). I believe RTTI did bloat programs considerably, so
most people turned it off. If this still applies today, I have no idea.
I still know a few platforms that do not support loading C++ code from a
loadable plug-in (dll, shared object) if the main program is not a C++
program.
