There are four different types of a function. (both method and sub) - `multi` - `proto` - `only` - `anon` A `proto` function is mainly just to declare there will be multiple functions with same name. `multi` is short for "multiple", meaning more than one. `only` is the default, it means there is

Re: Question about Blob and Buf

I think the problem is IO::Socket.read() returns a Blob not a Buf. ~ has a Buf, Buf variant : https://docs.raku.org/language/operators#infix_~ But not a Blob one. Buf does Blob but not vice versa. I think you need to transform the output from .read into a Buf if you want to use the ~= how you

Re: Question about Blob and Buf

~ works fine for concatenating Bufs; For example: my $a = Buf.new(1,2,3); my $b = $a ~ Buf.new(4,5,6) will assign correctly to $b. I can't work out what the problem is here, despite trying various combinations. Perhaps socket isn't really returning a Blob? Kevin. On Tue, 11 Feb 2020 at 21:01,

Re: Question about Blob and Buf

You are using ~, which stringifies. Bufs are not strings: you need to decode them to concatenate it to a string. If what you want is to concatenate the buffer, probably ,= will work (not sure about this, would have to check), or any other operator that works on Positionals. JJ El mar., 11 feb.

Re: : question

This article uses httpbin.org which is a nice service that'll take any kind of request and tell you exactly what it saw. It shows what it got as a json dictionary literal. Here's an example for your browser, so you can just click it:
