Gee Todd, I don't know.

167-169: Maybe Raku doesn't like the `(` parens-enclosed signature `)` spread out over three lines?

That's my best guess for now. Try those three lines all on one line and tell us how you go.

I do that all-the-time.  This works.

sub WTSSendMessageA(

   HANDLE,        # [in]

   DWORD,         # [in] SessionId,

   LPSTR,         # [in] pTitle,

   DWORD,         # [in] TitleLength,

   LPSTR,         # [in] pMessage,

   DWORD,         # [in] MessageLength,

   DWORD,         # [in] Style,

   DWORD,         # [in] Timeout,

   DWORD is rw,   # [out] *pResponse,

   BOOL           # [in] BOOL

)

   is native("wtsapi32")

   is symbol("WTSSendMessageA")

   { * };
