Hi Todd, Sounds like in WinReg.pm6 line 177 is a definition like : sub RegOpenKeyExW( DWORD, WCHARS, DWORD, DWORD, DWORD is rw) is native("Kernel32.dll") returns DWORD { * }; and you put a "my $i = 0" variable instead of "my int32 $i = 0" in it somewhere. Greetings, Wolf On Wed, 1 Jan 2020 at

Hi Todd, i'm not one of the Raku devs, but i'd like to add my two bits here. To begin with, i'd just like to note that there's no need for quotes when referencing the C programming language, just as there's no need for quotes around Raku: "the C programming language", not "the 'C'
