As to your "null string", I am glad that you resolved your problem,

It would be unusual for you to have been able to
duplicate it. It had to travel through an external
call to curl and be read back from STDIN. Come
to think of it, whatever was in it (curl showed a
zero length download), it probably was not a nul.
you probably had a variable that was undefined, rather than containing
an empty string, or perhaps you had something else in the variable as as
Raku has many types but why anything would actually hang the program
instead of returning an error I could not say.
That makes sense
