Golf Scoring Idea

This might be a bit of a strange idea, but... suppose that for scoring,
instead of using total number of bytes for the score, you used the total
number of opcodes.  The B module, or one of the backends invoked through
-MO=<whatever>, would be used for finding out this info.

You would have to forbid the various ways that code can be hidden from
perl's introspection, but that shouldn't be *too* much of a hardship for
golfers.
