Parrot is a VM (virtual machine) designed specifically for running dynamic languages in general, and Perl 6 in particular (see http://www.parrotcode.org/).

Parrot is still in development, the latest monthly version is 0.6.0.
A complete prototype of Lua 5.1 (aligned on 5.1.3) is available :

- an Lua interpreter written in PIR (Parrot Intermediate Representation) that generates PIR

 - a large subset of the Lua Standard Librairies (written in PIR)
 - a test suite (more than 980 tests)

For the first time, with Parrot 0.6.0, all garbage collection problems seem to be fixed. Documentation starts in http://svn.perl.org/viewcvs/parrot/trunk/languages/lua/doc/running.pod?view=markup and http://svn.perl.org/viewcvs/parrot/trunk/languages/lua/doc/status.pod?view=markup. Any comments, suggestions, bug report, test, improvement are welcome on Parrot mailing list (perl6-internals@perl.org).

François Perrad.
