TBH, this is also one of the things which made me steer clear of Raku. Interesting concepts, mind you, but when I use Perl, I expect to be able to hand a program out to people without limiting too much which binary version and which package versions they have to use. Just using a "reasonable new" Debian should work. I watch Pythons venv hell (and have to poke at it sometimes) with some disgust. Cheers -- t
