I am not familiar with `Parrot::Interpreter`, but while reviewing old Trac
tickets I came upon this one and decided to look at that package (''ext
/Parrot-Embed/lib/Parrot/Interpreter.pm''). Its documentation says:
{{{
SYNOPSIS
# the first interpreter created in the program
my $interp = Parrot::Interpreter->new();
# all subsequent interpreters need a parent
my $child_interp = $interp->new( $interp );
}}}
So it seems to be me that you '''should not''' be trying to call
`Parrot::Interpreter->new()` twice in a program.
Whether this is a good design is, of course, debatable. But will your
programs work if you create child interpreters?
Thank you very much.[[BR]]
