Stuff with the Perl Foundation. A couple of patches in the Perl core. A few CPAN modules. That about sums it up.

Perl Grant Approved: Improve Perl 5
For 2006 Q1, only one grant was approved, but it's fantastic. Nicholas Clark is going to spend some time fixing some long-standing issues with Perl 5. Thanks Nicholas!
Some issues which will be resolved:
- Fix bugs affecting Unicode handling, Class::DBI, Tk and PAR.
- Allow relocatable Perl installations, which permits developers to distribute applications complete with a bundled Perl.
- Support source filters as part of code references in @INC
- Complete lexical pragmas, a milestone on the way to 5.10
- Further memory saving for 5.10 - previous work saved >33% for hashes and arrays
- Merge Larry's p5-p6 work into core, which will allow others to start contributing to it.
See the Perl Foundation blog for more information.

I'm going to get your report up and announce it but I had to get the current grant round resolved. Sorry for the delay!
