CatHandle? Is that an alias for "tail"? :-)*
hehe, that's a nice word change... Well, I've seen it here at
https://docs.perl6.org/routine/readchars
But there's also IO::Handle .... What I've understood is that the
CatHandle does the same as a readonly IO::Handle can. Writing will throw
exceptions. So in the end it looks like the Unix tail program.

I was just thinking about the case of processing a large file in
chunks of an arbitrary size (where "lines" or "words" don't really
work). I can think of a few approaches that would seem kind-of
rakuish, but don't seem to be built-in anywhere... something like a
variant of "slurp" with an argument to specify how much you want to
slurp at a time, that'll move on to the next chunk the next time it's
invoked...
Is there anything like that kicking around that I've missed?
as a side note, there is also a .IO.CHandle.readchars($size), with
$size a default of 64 kb.

I meant .IO.CatHandle.readchars($size)
sorry
