You do not understand the problem, Andy: Debian's package version of raku is over two years old, and it is NOT installed by default. My script uses that raku as a bootstrap to update to the latest release provided as a Debian package format similar to the manner in which PostgreSQL can be maintained in its latest state with an out-of-Debian package location. Perl, on the other hand, is very current, installed as a default Debian package, and not changing as fast as raku (improved releases almost every month). Python is its own weird thing which I ignore as much as possible. Cheers! -Tom
