I don't know what you mean by this. In perl, you use `use Module' to
include a module, which may have compiled data, and may have autoload
capability. In zsh, you use `zmodload -ab foo' and its friends to specify
that foo is loadable from a module; you don't need to recompile to do that.
What's the difference? Do you mean that zsh doesn't come with a separate
kit to allow you to compile new modules without the original compilation
environment?
