I use absolute paths when I will sometimes be operating

Okay, before someone tells me that bash programs ALWAYS
run inside the shell and I do not path many of the other
comands, it is because I program in Raku a lot. I ADORE
Raku. (The documentation stinks though.) And I use
nmcli a lot inside Raku.
And I prefer run system command OUTSIDE the shell, especially
since my programs often run outside the shell as well.
I guess that what you call "outside the shell" means non-interactively.
In Perl 5, you can set the PATH just like in a shell script with
'[local] $ENV{PATH} = "...";'. Didn't Raku keep this or replace it
with something of similar purpose?
I have forgotten most of what I learned in Perl 5. When
Perl 6 hit, I jumped on it. I program in Top Down and
live and both modules and subroutines. Perl's 5 method
of calling subs is a freaking nightmare. Raku's
sub declarations are a dream.
By "outside the shell", I mean that bash and friends are
not involved. $PATH is part of bash's shell. The programs
themselves are call directly.
In Raku, it looks like this:
$proc = run( @RunArray, :err, :out, :bin );
You place each parameter in a separate cell. This gets around
the "space" in the parameter issue
