Why? OK, I understand that Ponie will compile Perl 5 source to parrot ops, and that Safe's interface uses perl ops. However it's a pure compile-time module -- it hooks into the optree construction routines -- so it may be possible to have an equivalent of it under Ponie. (not saying that this would be necessarily a good idea, though) -- rgs
