The problem

See: https://docs.perl6.org/language/nativecall#MySQL

This section recommends to use apt-get install mysql-server on debian-like system.
However, MySQL is replaced with MariaDB on Debian Stretch.
So, apt-get install mysql-server tries to install mariadb-client and the shared object file (i.e. libmysqlclient.so) will not be installed.

Suggestions

I'm not sure, but a quick and dirty solution is:

$ wget http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/mysql-5.5/libmysqlclient18_5.5.58-0+deb8u1_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i libmysqlclient18_5.5.58-0+deb8u1_amd64.deb

Wouldn't it be better to change the examples to use MariaDB?

Also, those examples have nothing to do with NativeCall. It does not use it.

Adds implicit return trap example.

That would close #388.

Also, adds links to NativeCall use in DBIish, refs #1993 albeit closed.

@titsuki
Improve MySQL installation process
d12bac4 
I fixed this section for several reasons:

1) The previous example could install the dynamic library but the DBIish example also requires MySQL server.
2) The MySQL APT Repository officially supports debian stretch (also it supports jessie and wheezy).
3) Even if an user use an older distribution, he/she can install the current version of MySQL easily.

(and sorry for my confusing suggestion: Raku#1993 )
