Replying to [comment:7 dukeleto]:
> Should this get released as a CPAN module now?
At the very least, we have to address the distribution's current
documentation. The ''README'' starts out like this:
{{{
Parrot::Embed
-------------
This is an embedding interface to use Parrot from Perl 5.
Be afraid.
}}}
Not an auspicious sign. If there are things to be afraid of, we have to
identify them and address them before pushing this to CPAN.
I have not attempted to use this distribution, but some of the questions
we will have to answer include:
* How stable is the interface to libparrot?
* How stable are the functions exported from libparrot?
My hunch is that anyone making serious use of this distribution will want
stability, because such a person wants to 'do Perl 5' rather than 'doing
Parrot'.
Thank you very much.
