The parrot packages with libparrot0 and libparrot-devel, plus parrot-perl6 and parrot-languages are updated to 0.6.4-2 for the Cygwin distribution.
This release fixes the serious issue with running /usr/bin/perl6 and the other languages /usr/bin/parrot-* without building from source. See http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-07/msg00440.html Parrot is a virtual machine designed to efficiently compile and execute bytecode for interpreted languages. Parrot is a target for the upcoming Perl 6 and a lot of other languages.
