Bob Rogers just released Parrot 0.5.2. This monthly release includes a couple of interesting new features.

First, we’ve managed to bundle up Patrick Michaud’s Rakudo (that’s the implementation of Perl 6 on Parrot) such that you can type make perl6 on Unixy platforms and make perl6.exe on Windows and get a working standalone Perl 6 binary. This is experimental and we hope to iron out some installation and deployment issues by next month’s release, but it was important to demonstrate our progress.

The second new feature is a toolkit for starting your own compiler. Max Mohun built a prototype several months ago, and we’ve added a stripped down version for now that builds the skeleton of a compiler for you using the Parrot Compiler Tools. I mentioned the LOLCODE compiler in What the Perl 6 and Parrot Hackers Did on Their Christmas Vacation; this is how Simon and Company were able to get LOLCODE up and running so quickly.

If someone asks nicely, I might even make it possible to create a standalone LOLCODE compiler executable. Where else are you going to get patch explanations like:

The bare expression before an O RLY? should both set
IT and be used as a test in the O RLY?, but it should
only be evaluated once.

(See Perl RT
#49808.)

When you create browser-based applications that display XML data feeds, you
often need to code the data-retrieval mechanism and the user interface. Mozilla
Firefox provides an infrastructure that frees you from these tasks, so you can concentrate on your application's functionality. Learn how to use Asynchronous JavaScript + XML (Ajax) to download XML data from a Web server, and discover how you can use Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) to transform it dynamically into Firefox user-interface elements expressed in XML User Interface Language (XUL). You can apply these techniques to any application that uses XML data sources.

Back end processing -- server-side scripts and programs -- can't always be tossed into an Ajax application and behave well. Instead, careful planning to ensure data is sent in an appropriate and efficient form ensures your entire application is cohesive, rather than needlessly complex. Brett McLaughlin explains how a good server-side script complements Ajax behavior.
