What is POW? Parrot on Windows? Who does maintain it?
Possily he means http://www.jwcs.net/developers/perl/pow/ but that seems to have precompiled for windows parrot binaries with no source.
The website mentions Jonathan Worthington as the maintainer.
'fraid that'd be me. From the Parrot On Win32 documentation:-
"This distribution contains the Parrot executables that result from compiling the source under Windows, to save you having to compile it yourself. Documentation, examples, tests, compilers and interpreters for a number of languages at various stages of completion and a few other assorted odds and ends are also included."
Which (obviously not clearly enough ;-) implies that the source isn't included. This is like getting ActiveState Perl; you're getting something ready to run, not something you have to compile. To get something to compile, look to the Parrot site (http://www.parrotcode.org/).
Hope this helps,
Jonathan
