1.5: What is Ponie?
(contributed by brian d foy)
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.
You can get more information at http://www.poniecode.org/ and
http://www.parrotcode.org .
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The perlfaq-workers, a group of volunteers, maintain the perlfaq. They
are not necessarily experts in every domain where Perl might show up,
so please include as much information as possible and relevant in any
corrections. The perlfaq-workers also don't have access to every
operating system or platform, so please include relevant details for
corrections to examples that do not work on particular platforms.
Working code is greatly appreciated.
If you'd like to help maintain the perlfaq, see the details in
perlfaq.pod.

and i can't believe that was ever frequently asked. ponie never got any
buzz outisde a very small subset of the perl community. on the other
hand parrot and pugs are getting that buzz. so maybe this faq should be
changed to ask about those and other top level perl6 topics?
