Perl 6
Historical Implementations: Revision 9

Topaz

Topaz was Chip Salzenberg's attempt to reimplement Perl 5 in C++ in the late 1990s. Topaz was abandoned after the Coffee Mug Incident.

Sapphire

Simon Cozens tested around 2000 how to reimplement Perl.

Ponie>

(Perl (5) On New Interpreter Engine) had aimed to implement the Perl 5 language on Parrot. It was developed 2003-2006 by Arthur Bergman and Nicholas Clark. Ponie had the potential to integrate Perl 6 and Perl 5 code in the same process. That would have been useful for language bootstrap purposes, and also to make lots of the Perl 5 based CPAN libraries available to Perl 6 users. It was discontinued because emulating all of the idiosyncracies of Perl 5 was daunting, and the developers were presumably daunted.
