Subject pretty much says it all. Does perl6 support a LISP-like linked-list data type (i.e. a CONS cell)?
There are probably a couple of different aspects to what I mean by 'support'. For instance, CONS cells can be implemented in perl5 by using two-element arrays, but that's not very efficient. Also, it would be nice if all the list processing operators worked on CONS cells as well as on arrays, i.e. map, grep, etc.
All of the major scripting languages seemed to have overlooked this data type.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
