TL;DR

I put the code in the synacor-challenge repository.

In my last post I introduced the Synacor Challenge and tagged it as something to do with Raku. If you’re curious about the code, it’s available as a big, huge, humoungous mess at synacor-challenge.

I wanted to use a digest algorithm and tried to install a module, failing miserably. Maybe it’s time for me to upgrade my Raku, or maybe it’s something with the module.

I ended up copy-pasting Digest::MD5 by Cosimo Streppone and it works like a charm after almost 6 years. Thanks Cosimo!
