Perlito is a compiler that implements a subset of Perl 6.
Perlito compiles "MiniPerl6" programs (such as itself) into one of the
'backend' languages: Go, Common Lisp, Perl 5, Javascript, and Python

Changes in version 5.0 (2010-07-19):
- Python backend bootstrap.
- use variable assignment instead of binding - that is, use '=3D' instead o=
f ':=3D'
- 'use' - all backends can now use Test.pm
- 'elsif'
- 'loop'
- regex quantifiers
- Lisp backend now bootstraps with the 'util/mp6.pl' compiler
- floating point numbers
- 'while' loop

Enjoy!
