is Larry Wall's reference implementation of the Perl&nbsp;6 grammar,
parser generator, and some of the semantic verifier. STD is an
abbreviation of "Standard", as in "Perl6.0.0-STD". It is written in
Perl 6, transliterated into Perl 5 by "gimme5", and supported by
Cursor.pm and Moose and others.

meta object programming capabilities. It is actively developed.

is to explore the static aspects of Perl 6 and the possibilities
for compile-time optimization, though this is not yet well realized.

Perl&nbsp;6 compiler targetting the Common Language Runtime (.NET

currently intends to implement a small strongly/natively-typed
functional-programming subset of Perl&nbsp;6 ("perlesque"), but
specifically the flavor of Perl&nbsp;6 used by STD, to facilitate
quick bootstrapping of the official STD grammar and Cursor parser
engine to the CLR. It is actively developed.
