According to search.brave.com's AI, I can't send
wild card to "run".  I have to use "shell":

     To send a wildcard to the run command in Raku, you need to
     use the shell function instead of run, as run does not
     perform shell expansion of wildcards like * or ?. The
     shell function invokes the system shell, which handles
     wildcard expansion.

I can always filter with starts-with, contains, ends-with.

Is there a trick to get somethings equivalent to a wild
card into "run"?
