 Ponie stands for "Perl On the New Internal Engine", started by Arthur
 Bergman from Fotango in 2003, and subsequently run as a project of The
-Perl Foundation. Instead of using the current Perl internals, Ponie
-creates a new one that provides a translation path from Perl 5 to Perl 6
-(or anything else that targets Parrot, actually). You can also just keep
-using Perl 5 with Parrot, the virtual machine which will compile and run
-Perl 6 bytecode.
