     136---------------------

     138Parrot is used to provide Perl6-style regular expressions. 
     139Perl5-style regular expressions (eg, rx:perl5/foo/) can be used 
     140without any parrot at all.  Pugs can be built to use parrot external 
     141(the default), or embedded.  External is recommended. 
     142 
     143Embedding parrot currently requires a parrot version later than 0.3.0. 
     144Parrot 0.3.0 is unfortunately, as of Oct 10 2005, the latest parrot 
     145release.  It had a bug which has since been fixed.  More recent but 
     146unreleased and unstable copies of parrot can be obtained from 
     147http://www.parrotcode.org/source.html .
