I've been working with turning Perl 5 bytecode into XML. Would it be somewhat easy to translate that XML into Parrot bytecode?

    I expect so, yep. (Though as part of the perl5->perl6 converter I'd been considering straight bytecode/optree conversion) Though, alas, not the solution for a perl 6 parser. :)

      In some article, I read that B::Deparse could be made to output non-perl code in the future. How hard would it be to have it output Perl6 code?

      - Yes, I reinvent wheels.

        Probably about as hard as having it emit perl 5 code, give or take a little. It's one of the planned code migration paths.
