What is Parrot?



Parrot is a virtual machine aimed at running Perl6 and other dynamic languages.



Parrot 0.2.2 changes and news

  • partial implementation of the new calling conventions PASM only, don't mix PIR foo() call syntax with the new scheme
  • grammar and rule support in PGE - the Parrot Grammar Engine
  • TCL passes >10% of the tcl test suite
  • the usual bugfixes and improvements


After some pause you can grab it from CPAN.



As parrot is still in steady development we recommend that you just get the latest and best from SVN by following the directions at source.html.
