Yes, theses are Raku modules pre-compiled at build time. A more detailed explanation is provided on Debian wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/Perl6PreCompProposal I don't really know why the pre-compilation is not reproducible. As a matter of fact, neither rakudo, nqp or moarvm are reproducible. I've never found the time or energy to find why. All the best Dod
