    To clarify, there are some scripts that compile simple languages down to parrot bytecode. Get yoruself over to dev.perl.org These scripts are what you want to look at. In particualar, there is a script to implement something called 'babyperl' - a simplistic version of perl.

      Couldn't have said it better myself. (Sorry. Sometimes, I try to be breif, and cut to much. Other times, I don't try to be breif, and say to much.)

    Er, parrot is a toy language?

      Nope, but Parrot's pretty easy to implement toy languages on top of. Real languages too, of course.

        I should hope so. :-)
