This is called Blizkost [0], a project stared by Jonathan Worthington [1], one of the core Rakudo developers. It allows Parrot to run Perl 5 code. Currently we need to get loading of XS from Perl 5 working on Blizkost, it is described in detail in the TODO [2]. If you get "use Data::Dumper;" working in Blizkost, I will buy you a beverage of your choice. Fork some repos and write some tests/code and docs, people! git clone git://github.com/jnthn/blizkost.git Duke [0] - http://github.com/jnthn/blizkost [1] - http://www.jnthn.net [2] - http://github.com/jnthn/blizkost/blob/master/TODO -- Jonathan "Duke" Leto jonat...@leto.net http://leto.net
