+=head2 What is Ponie?
+
+At The O'Reilly Open Source Software Convention in 2003, Artur
+Bergman, Fotango, and The Perl Foundation announced a project to
+run perl5 on the Parrot virtual machine named Ponie. Ponie stands for
+Perl On New Internal Engine. The Perl 5.10 language implementation
+will be used for Ponie, and there will be no language level
+differences between perl5 and ponie. Ponie is not a complete rewrite
+of perl5.
