Thank you for your reply.
Ive thought about it and it is really perfectly fine
with me if large parts (or all) of the old perl
interpreter where bundled with Parrot in order to
provide Perl5 compatability on Parrot. If using
existing Perl5 interpretor code saves effort and works
well, but still

Running the old Perl5 interpretor and the Parrot in the same process
is not a great solution, since this would mean that there would be two
completely seperate interpretor codebases to support. A big part of
Parrot is to allow several languages to use the same interpretor,
Hello,
I believe it would be a very good idea and quite
essential, if Perl6 is not simply a superset of Perl5
and thus by default back compatable with Perl5, for
Parrot/Perl6 to also contain complete, 100% backwards
compatability capability with perl5 code, either in a
seperate perl5 parser
I suggest you read more about Parrot... it's designed to allow these
things. There is a project (Ponie) to make Perl 5 run on Parrot, and
there will be other languages as well - which will be able to call each
others libraries. Making the Perl 5 libraries available to Perl 6 being
a primary
