I'm sure that's not going to happen. Much more likely is some kind of wrapper that manages a simple perl5-like run-time environment (stacks, marks, gimme, symboltable etc) plus source-code compatibility support (macros, functions etc) that's just sufficient to keep old XS code happy. If someone wants to champion that work I'll certainly contribute. Tim [who doesn't want to rewrite the DBI's ~4000 lines or tell the many DBD authors that they have to rewrite their drivers].
