In the Python test suite, there's a single global location to declare a
list of test files that are expected to be skipped on a particular

Folks,
I've been wrestling with the .spec file to generate RPMs for parrot
0.4.12, and so far, the .spec file is winning, so I figured I'd do
what I always do when I'm losing: fight dirty and call in help :)
I think that Steven Pritchard has
Larry Wall wrote in perl.perl6.internals :
Do bear in mind that Perl can execute bits of code as it's compiling,
so if a bit of code is untrustworthy, you shouldn't be compiling it
in the first place, unless you've prescanned it to reject Cuse,
CBEGIN, and other macro definitions, or (more
Larry Wall wrote in perl.perl6.internals :
Not using metaconfig (or something like it) would be the biggest
mistake. It's actually next to impossible to maintain something like
a Configure script directly.
Actually as parrot already uses IIUC variables set up by Configure,
I think one could

Excuse me from stepping in, but I don't see why three adresses are

I want a Ponie!
I promise that, as development of Ponie (the port of Perl 5 to Parrot)
accelerates you'll see a summary of Ponie activity in this summary as
well.
In fact I imagined I was more or less going to do this, based on

In Perl terms, assume we have a method PRE that gets called before
any method in a class is called, and AUTOLOAD which is called if you

Okay, here are some tasks for the interested. They're all related (I
expect you'll see the pattern), but independent anyway.
1) Dig through the perl source and find out all the opcodes. (pp.c
and friends) Document the opcodes and what they do.

It sounds like what you are embarking on is a compiler implementation
with a full grammar, etc. Right?
Not at all, he wants to reuse the perl 5 parser to generate parrot
opcodes from perl 5 opcodes.
I also remember there was work already in

Similarly, I'd like Parrot/ to move to lib/
And Test/, while you're at it.
But doesn't this require much CVS hackery to keep the revision history?
Don't be the slave of your tools ;-)
