In January 2018, I proposed a CPAN Butterfly Plan to convert Perl functionality to Raku as closely as possible to the original API. I stated this as a goal because Perl (as a programming language) is so much more than syntax alone. Ask anyone what Perl's unique selling point is, and they will most likely tell you it is CPAN.
The Raku Programming Language documentation already contains most (if not all) the documentation you need to deal with the issues you will confront in migrating Perl code to Raku. But, as documentation goes, the focus is on the factual differences. These blogs will try to go a little more in-depth about specific issues and provide a little more hands-on information based on my experience porting quite a lot of Perl code to Raku.
