In practice, though, if you're going to reuse a series in your Perl 6 program, you'll want to memoize the series by binding the series to an array, like this:
my @fib := (0,1, *+* ... *);
say @fib[8];
say @fib[9]; # doesn't recalculate fib(8)
Both lists and arrays can be lazily infinite in Perl 6; the only real difference is whether the values are kept in an indexable form as they are generated. Note also that the memoization naturally uses an array rather than a hash in this case, which saves memory over those memoization techniques that must assume a hash for generality.

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).
