A thought has occured to me.
If we wrote a GUI library in parrot, a sort of Tkinter, and our widgets
compiled down to parrot then we would have a consistent GUI library
where widgets could be shared across languages and across platforms.
Unlike the present situation where Tk widgets from Perl

Could you toss the Test and little-la
OK, I've revised the tests for C in line with Alex's
concerns, and added explicit tests for PerlInts and PerlNums. As yet
there are still no PerlArray or PerlHash tests.
Re the former, am I right in thinking that assignment from a PerlArray
to a non-PMC register should always be in scalar

You might need a checkout -P too.
Pity CVS doesn't version directories. ;)

Paul Graham's very interesting book "On LISP" is available for download
from http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisptext.html . Good for learning about
continuations and many other scary things we're going to have to support...
