This report has been far too long in coming; at the time of the original grant proposal it was expected that the design and implementation of Perl 6 lists and iterators was near completion, and that most of what remained to be done would be updating the documentation, tests, and Synopses.

If it weren't for the fact that you said you were going to do it, I would've doubted it could be done at all in current Parrot. pmichaud In many senses, this "Hague Grant":http://news.perlfoundation.org/2009/04/hague_perl_6_grant_request_tra.html was rather more challenging than my "last one":http://news.perlfoundation.org/2008/11/hague_grant_request_rakudo_dis.html. In the course of it, I've been dealing with major changes to some of the things most fundamental to any Perl

In late November 2007 Jonathan Worthington submitted a "Hague Perl 6 Grant proposal":http://www.perlfoundation.org/ian_hague_perl_6_development_grants entitled "'Rakudo Dispatch and Role Enhancements'":http://news.perlfoundation.org/2008/11/hague_grant_request_rakudo_dis.html.

This successfully completes this Hague Grant for Perl 6 development. We thank Jonathan for his great work on this grant and his efforts
