Hi there, didn't have time to reply earlier, had to do some research on Lua and had to get approval for the project, so couldn't let you know earlier. sorry about that. But now, I have it (the approval, that is) so I'll be implementing a compiler for Lua->parrot (most probably IMCC in between).
thanks to the people who suggested/replied on my posting.
