perlquestion xiaoyafeng <p> The following question is where perl5 spec is. ;) </p> <p> Maybe I'm not a appropriate one to ask this question, But in my opinion, it would be great news once perl5 is ported to a virtual machine(not just parrot). Let's imagine: easy translating between 2 languages, reuse the library from other dynamic language, easy compile perl5 code to excutable, a brandnew, usable threading implementation, builtin type model, .... and the most important, we still can use the modules on CPAN! (some XS module might be rewritten tho). </p> <p> I'm not an expert about language compiler, but anyone can tell me what problem impede person to create a perl5 interpreter on parrot? no resource? not mature enough([ http://www.parrot.org/news/2012/Parrot-4.10]) or lack a perl5 spec(my 2nd question)?</p> <p> Any replys? </p> <p> <b>UPDATE:</b> I think the design of parrot is really suitable for implmenting perl, both perl5 and perl6. </p> <!-- Node text goes above.
