Required dependency raku module NativeHelpers::Blob:ver<0.1.12>:auth<github:salortiz> is missing in META6.json

Manually installing it with zef allows a good test and install of this module.

Hi. Good morning :)

This is marked as experimental and use wxhtmltox of which until now is not supported on Debian packages (as far as I know). It used pre-built binaries from wkhtmltopdf of which I do not see any assets after 12.5.1.

For fun, it was modernized from perl6 to raku in 0.0.3 on today (2022-10-30). I will try to see whether to see it is still viable or not. Also Github test workflow is up instead of travis CI.

Thanks, @azawawi. I am trying to find a decent way to use wkhtmltopdf and your module is the best I've found so far.

For a pragmatic approach, please take a look at https://github.com/azawawi/raku-wkhtmltox/blob/master/test-throttle.raku. I was keeping that script to compare in-process (wkhtmltox native) vs process (wkhtml2pdf) benchmark. But normally you can reuse that script to have multiple parallel workers that scale to your processor core count automatically.

Thanks!
