That seems to be the way to do it, speaking as someone who's working on a
Perl 5-to-PIL converter (using the B optree-introspection modules).
The problem here is that .sub has meanings beyond just "here's a
subroutine". .sub is actually a compilation unit, which complicates things
terribly. You *could* just use branches and labels to create a new sub
without actually making a new compilation unit:
.sub main
...
branch mysub_after
mysub:
...
ret
mysub_after:
...
.end
But that makes imcc run slower, so I don't recommend it.
