Package: perl6 (6.d.3)

Raku Compiler

Raku (formerly known as Perl6) is a programming language, member of the Perl family. Like Perl 5, her world-famous big sister, Raku intends to carry forward the high ideals of the Perl community and is currently being developed by a team of dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers.

perl6 package is a metapackage that aims to depend on a Raku compiler and on the Raku core modules shipped with rakudo-star. These modules will be added once they are available on Debian.

Perl6 version number represents the version of the language specification. The version of the compiler is another matter.
