kevin falcone gave a short mod_parrot talk at YAPC this year. does he want to lay some claim to it? i'd be willing to pick it up if nobody else speaks up -- a decision i'm sure to regret... ;-)
on a related note, last year i wrote extproc_parrot, which lets you call parrot bytecode as an oracle stored procedure. this was a proof of concept to show that to show that extproc_perl (stored procedures in perl) would be able to support perl 6 when it became available. it worked, but the embedding interface was too immature to do much else than a simple "Hello world" example. based on what you're saying here, i plan on picking this up again. i imagine the work will be quite similar to mod_parrot. -jeff On Wed, 25 Aug 2004, Dan Sugalski wrote: > Okay, here's the scoop.
