This means there is a possibility that +the optree will outlive the particular thread (and therefore the interpreter instance) that created it, so true Perl scalars cannot be stored in the -optree. Instead a compact form is used, which can only store values that are +optree. Instead a compact form is used, which can only store values that are integers (signed and unsigned), strings or C - references and floating point values are stringified. If you need to store multiple values or complex structures, you should serialise them, for example with C.
