Are you looking for Perl code that creates such packed array

As a simpler case than a full 3D engine port, I have some OpenGL
benchmarks in Perl 5 that I can port -- these have much reduced
requirements. Principly, they need:
1. Basic math and string operators (not grammars)
2. Basic looping and simple

Not until Perl 6 can use PIR code. After that, it depends on what you want to
do with the two.
If you can get Parrot::Embed compiled and running on your machine, Perl 5 can
have Parro

Cool beans. I'd had some simple OpenGL code working-with-hacks on Pugs
many months ago, but I did not know the current status after all the

Parrot does have ManagedStruct and UnManagedStruct PMCs for mapping complex C
structures. The syntax to define them is a little grotty, but
