:: Ah. I noticed you made a distinction between two cases on [[Find limit of recursion]], and I assumed those were different implementations. I though [[:Category:Perl]] had [[Template:Implementation]] on the same page as [[Template:Language]], but that seems not to be the case, and I don't know why that was changed. Hm. Not sure what to do about it, then. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 23:19, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

:::It's sort of a hybrid situation: there's a single compiler which has been ported to Windows, OS X, and Linux, and on each platform it's distributed along with an IDE. The IDEs are all based on a common design but implemented independently (unlike the compiler, which is simply recompiled for each platform). The IDEs include bytecode interpreters for the two virtual machines that the compiler targets, which are also implemented independently, and the cases I distinguished are for the two VM implementations included with the Windows package. So there are multiple implementations at run time, but not at compile time. --[[User:Mr2001|Mr2001]] 23:33, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
