[0]jesse writes "Over the past several years, one key aspect of the
migration plan to Perl 6 has been the Ponie project, a fusion of the Perl
5 runtime with Parrot. Sponsored by Fotango, Artur Bergman and Nicholas
Clark did a heroic job cleaning up Perl's internals to make it possible
to replace some components of Perl 5 with Parrot, one piece at a time,

bug-for-bug compatibility. Along the way, Nicholas ported several
significant Perl core improvements from Ponie back to the Perl 5.9 tree.
