 Programs in Perl are usually stored in plain-text files, to be run by the Perl interpreter.
-Perl 6 was under development for years, with a number of differences from earlier versions of Perl which make programs incompatible both forward and reverse. This new version uses a virtual machine called "Parrot" with a language that is intermediate between Perl and native machine code.

 After this renaming, the Perl developers announced that there would be a "Perl 7" that is a more incremental change from Perl 5 than the change to Perl 6 that ended up being reclassified as a new language. The main initial change in Perl 7 will be a change to some of the default behavior, and deprecation of a few features deemed undesirable.
