There was the original 99 problems in Lisp (derived from Prolog):

 http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~meidanis/courses/mc336/2006s2/funcional/L-99_Ninety-Nine_Lisp_Problems.html

Taken up by the Haskell folks:

 http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/99_Haskell_exercises

The Pugs repository had Perl 6 versions of these problems but I can't find them now.
