There seems to be a bug in parrot whereby it's using perl in your $PATH,
rather than the perl you Configured with. First perl in my $PATH is 5.004.
Bang. I'll investigate, and commit a fix to parrot. How frequently are you
intending to merge in upstream changes?

IIRC the parrot IO subsystem is currently being re-written.
(more than the rest of parrot, that is)
So anyone investigating ought to be in contact with the parrot people to find
out what there intent is.
