well, it doesn't have to be underlined by an acronym.. and if you don't like
parrot, how about a play on the name w/'polly'?

also - why does it have to be tied to perl (in name) at all? I like the idea
that it would *not* be tied to perl, ie: it would be more generic if it was
not named after it.
How about 'prism' (ie: multiple languages from one underlying platform)?
