Ok that makes sense yeh. Perl interprets the code of the engine, and builds a compiled system out of it capable of interpretting both aXML and Perl. You know what that means?

As far as I can tell, Perl 5 code gets interpretted and compiled into Perl 4 code, which gets interpetted and compiled into Perl 3 code and so on down to Perl 1 then Opcodes then machine code.

So if aXML was written in Perl 6 instead of Perl 5, and my name happened to be "Larry Wall".. instead of dealing with some unknown bolshe troll guy who no one has ever heard of, you would be getting all excited about being involved with the groundwork of "Perl 7".

No?
