      - uses: Raku/setup-raku@v1
        with:
          raku-version: ${{ matrix.raku-version }}

Install Raku modules with zef:

      - uses: Raku/setup-raku@v1
        with:
          zef-modules: "Test::META Cro::Core"

Cache the zef module cache between runs (keyed on META6.json):

      - uses: Raku/setup-raku@v1
        with:
          zef-modules: "Test::META Cro::Core"
          enable-zef-cache: "true"

Use the resolved version in later steps:

      - uses: Raku/setup-raku@v1
        id: raku
      - run: echo "installed raku ${{ steps.raku.outputs.raku-version }} at ${{ steps.raku.outputs.raku-path }}"
