[comp.lang.perl] preprocessing do files

	I would like to have some perl source files that are included in a
larger perl script with 'do' run through the C preprocessor before inclusion.
As far as I can tell, perl does not run them through the preprocessor, even if
your main script was invoked with the -P flag.  Can this be changed, or at
least made optional?
	I have a large (2500+ line) perl script that wants to include some
fairly large subroutines only if invoked with certain option flags.  These
subroutines utilize preprocessor constructs.  So I see this feature as fairly
necessary.  Your mileage may vary.
