Perl 6 has roles which are much more useful than interfaces -- in fact,
interfaces are degenerate roles. See Apocalypse 12 for more.
http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2004/04/16/a12.html
Parrot does/should have the 'does' op, which ought to check and identify
roleishness. I don't know its current status.
Discussion as to the differences between roles and interfaces should
probably happen on p6l ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), though there are some
implementation details for Perl 6's signature checking system that
Parrot doesn't currently handle as it could.
