=head1 NAME

ByteCache - byte-compile modules when needed

=head1 SYNOPSIS

     use ByteCache;
     use Other::Module;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module causes any modules loaded after it to be loaded in bytecode
compiled format. If a bytecode compiled version of the module does not
currently exist, ByteCache will call the compiler to create one and
then save it away.

=head1 WARNING

This module is dependent on the compiler suite, and is therefore B<very>
experimental. Your results may very. Do not use in production systems.
