Creating and using modules§

A module is usually a source file or set of source files that expose Raku constructs compunits which are usually files but could come from anywhere as long as there is a compunit repository that can provide it. See S11.">[ 1 ].

Modules are typically packages (classes, roles, grammars), subroutines, and sometimes variables. In Raku module can also refer to a type of package declared with the module keyword (see Module Packages and the examples below) but here we mostly mean "module" as a set of source files in a namespace.
