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.

For Perl 5 and probably all earlier versions, Perl code gets compiled into Perl opcodes, and these are executed by a virtual machine.

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".

Perl 6 is exciting because it well designed and addresses a lot of problem areas in Perl 5, not because it was written in Perl 5 (which it isn't), and not because it's by Larry Wall (which it isn't).

aXML is not exciting, it's not well designed, and addresses problems that already have more elegant solutions.
