Filing this to put through the mailing list chain, so more people know about it, as it's kind of severe-ish, depending on what you're doing... On Apr 13, 2017, IO::Handle.lines($some-limit, :$close) was modified[^1][^2] to auto-close the handle when the limit is reached to prevent handle leak. Unfortunately, this addition had a one-off bug and so the result is missing the last item (so, e.g. $limit of 2 will return just 1 item). This affects these routines with this specific argument configuration: - IO::Handle.lines: $limit, :close - IO::Path.lines: $limit - lines IO::Path $path, $limit - lines IO::Handle $handle, $limit, :close All the rest are not affected. The bug *did* make it into latest (2017.04) Rakudo Star. It is now fixed: https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/bf399380c1 And tested: https://github.com/perl6/roast/commit/f3d1f67988 [1] https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/29f58cd256c1d101f110a0 [2] https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/90da80f6202d4b44e2bf6b
