Perlito is a compiler that implements a subset of Perl 6.
Perlito compiles "MiniPerl6" programs (such as itself) into one of the
'backend' languages: Go, Common Lisp, Perl 5, Javascript, and Python
2.

Web page: http://www.perlito.org
Run online in the browser: http://perlcabal.org/~fglock/perlito.html
Download: http://github.com/fglock/Perlito/downloads

Changes in version 5.0 (2010-07-19):
- Python backend bootstrap.
- use variable assignment instead of binding - that is, use '=' instead of ':='
- 'use' - all backends can now use Test.pm
- 'elsif'
- 'loop'
- regex quantifiers
- Lisp backend now bootstraps with the 'util/mp6.pl' compiler
- floating point numbers
- 'while' loop

Enjoy!
