Compiling SDL Perl scripts

Hi all!

During my experiments with ActiveState's PDK and compiling my SDL Perl
script (which is impossible atm), I came along this piece of support ticket:

[snip]
However, I think that will likely just be the tip of the iceberg.

suggests that Alien::SDL is compiling Perl XS modules on the fly. This is a
design which will be incompatible with the PDK, as an application wrapped
with the PDK will not use a standard Perl at runtime.
[/snip] 

So, does Alien::SDL compile Perl XS modules on the fly? In case it is, what
exactly does this mean and can it be done in another way?

Best regards,
