$COMPILING
$^C

The current value of the flag associated with the -c switch. Mainly of use with -MO=... to allow code to alter its behaviour when being compiled. (For example to automatically AUTOLOADing at compile time rather than normal deferred loading.) Setting $^C = 1 is similar to calling B::minus_c.
