Definitely. ;-)
Parrot is a bit of different beastie than the perl modules we normally
handle. But I am fairly certain someone here would be willing to help. I
am not very familiar with parrot aside from having read some articles on
PIR and seen a couple talks, but it is still a bit over my head.

Usually the debian maintainer is responsible for forwarding bugs, since
parrot is maintainer-less it appears that this didn't happen. I will
look into this and see if I can forward them.

The debian perl group (debian-perl@lists.debian.org) is usually quite
helpful if you are going to package perl-related software.
