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.
Parrot is a virtual machine aimed at running Perl6 and other dynamic
languages, see
parrotcode.org for
more information."
