    Use Perl 5 code in a Raku program

  • Perl can be faster and defiantly nicer to work with than PHP but it's nowhere near as fast as some other options like Rust but that has the downside of being much harder to write and get working. Perl has the advantage of being prepackaged with the base system and on OpenBSD it's kept up fairly well with the system version currently being only one version behind the latest yearly Perl release. There are some patches added to the OpenBSD version so updating it each year takes time. The easiest way that I've found for running Perl websites is to leave the system modules as is and to install all of the modules that you need into a users home directory with local::lib and cpanm. That way the system install isn't contaminated with the extra modules and it makes deploying easy because it's all contained in one users home directory that can be rsync'd or tar'd. Another nice thing is you get access to pledge and unveil through Perl so you can lock down your website even further. I've recently been trying out doing things in Raku (Perl6 was renamed to Raku in 2019). It's slower than Perl most of the time but I find Raku to be so much more beautiful and expressive that it's a joy to code with. There aren't as many modules available right now for Raku but it gives you access to all of CPAN through the Inline::Perl5 module.
