It's really difficult to evaluate the Parrot proposal otherwise. I know quite a bit about Python's VM and runtime, but next to nothing about Perl's. If you're feeling particularly energetic, you might look at some other VM's -- Ocaml, Java, and Ruby come to mind. It is probably a much harder fit for the first two, because they are statically typed. But I'd be quite interested to see a survey of language VM techniques. Jeremy
