Which part of the machinery around 'use' and ':from<perl5>' is not Raku? Using existing perl 5 code is not not using Raku. One of Raku's most admirable features is the fact of it being a wholly new language which nevertheless does _NOT_ discard decades of hard-won experience. The languages even look familiar enough that were I a new developer used to Raku and having to examine perl 5 code, I don't think I would feel totally out of place (I swing the other way). Plus if you really really want to redevelop something, at least pick a better and more useful protocol than FTP. Matthew
