The Perl Power Tools, but in Raku

The RakuPowerTools module

This is the README for the PerlPowerTools Perl module. This distribution provides pure-Perl6 implementations of popular Unix tools aimed at the less fortunate systems that don't come with them. This was inspired by the PerlPowerTools project (http://www.perlpowertools.com) from Tom Christiansen, who did the same thing with Perl 5.

This is mostly just for giggles now. The PerlPowerTools brought familiar Unix utilities to Windows, but with the Windows Subsystem for Linux (or Docker, or whatever), you don't really need this stuff anymore.

Getting help

Although I'm happy to hear from module users in private email, that's the best way for me to forget to do something.

Besides the issue trackers, you can find help at Stackoverflow, both of which have many competent Raku-ers who can answer your question, almost in real time. They might not know the particulars of this module, but they can help you diagnose your problem.

Copyright and License

You should have received a LICENSE file, but the license is also noted in the module files. About the only thing you can't do is pretend that you wrote code that you didn't.

Good luck!

Enjoy,
