in thread Announce: Rakudo Star - a useful, usable, "early adopter" distribution of Perl 6

Could you please provide some more info on STD_P5? Is it's purpose to allow you to write a minimal Perl 5 parser in Perl 6? Is STD_P5 still being actively developed? What's the Perl 6 developers' opinion on its value?

If STD_P5 can be used to parse a fairly large subset of Perl 5, then could that "subset-of-Perl-5" code be run from inside my Perl 6 program?
