I don't see any opcodes currently for transforming octal and

Yes. Maybe:

  set Ix, Sy, Ibase  # Ibase = 2..36

This seems like a common language feature (at least for Parrot's
target languages). And if there's no opcode, then I have to write the
code in PIR. :-)

Err, what about providing a patch for parrot?

Thanks.

Danke.
