in thread Perl + Hoard ?

You can't rip out the guts of a mature code base and replace it with something else and expect everything to work. For instance, the internal layouts of SVs, AVs, HVs and the like have all recently received extensive changes to reduce their memory footprints (while keeping the public interface unchanged).

replacing memory allocator isn't related to layout of SVs, yet Perl already have different binary incompatile ways of using different memory approaches, so using yet another one is straightforward,
