"There are, if I counted correctly, at least 10 languages targeting Parrot right now, and Perl isn't one of them. (Though Python is ...)"

This sounds like you are saying that Perl is not targeting Parrot? Parrot is the interpeter for Perl 6, so this doesn't make a lot of sense.
Unless you are saying that Perl isn't one of the '10 languages'. In that case, I apologize.

    Perl isn't one of them ... yet. The only semi-working Perl6 interpreter (Pugs) actually targets Haskell, not Parrot. (This is largely due to Parrot's lack of support for certain necessary features in Perl6, like objects.)

    Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
    Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
    Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
    Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

      If it does not support objects, then how could it be of any use to Python?
