Yes!
slurp with enc("utf16") doesn't work
I just got to look into this one again a little further, and it does seem that
reading a utf16 file like this doesn't work:
my $contents = slurp( $file, :enc("utf16") );
Though this, however, does work:
my $fh = $file.IO.open( :r, :enc("utf16") );
my $contents = $fh.slurp;
Also the routine form (as opposed to the method form) of slurp works
with other encodings like utf8 and latin1.
So I'm opening an issue for this on github:

So... I believe Timo gave you that as an example how to use a grid to
position the various controls (buttons, text labels, input fields).
You start there, you figure out what text labels, what input fields,
what buttons you need, and then you use the 03-grid.p6 example as a base
on how to do this with Raku and GTK+.
G'luck,
Peter

The grid is possibly more complicated than you need it to be; instead
you can probably have one VBox that contains one HBox for every label +
input field.
One benefit that the Grid will give you is that you can much more easily
line up all the fill-in text inputs, whereas with a VBox of HBoxes it
may just make every text input as wide as possible so it (almost)
touches the end of the label, so different words ("city" vs "first
name") could result in different-sized text inputs.
hope that helps

You would not happen to have a guide for the complete idiot?
Maybe an example too?
03-grid.p6 does not show how to extract the information.
Can I do all this with glade?
https://glade.gnome.org/
It has a nice tutorial.

bash "."?
Hi All, Do we have anything like Bash's "." statement where we can read in a bunch of values from a .cfg file? (I think it is called "include", but I am not sure.) . /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0 which populates these (and other) variables DEVICE=br0 TYPE=Bridge ONBOOT=yes USERCTL=yes DELAY=0 NM_CONTROLLED=yes BOOTPROTO=none PREFIX=24 ... Many thanks, -T
Re: bash "."?
I didn't understand well your question, but "." in bash usually means "the local directory".

Hi Todd,
FYI, the `.` Bash command is also called `source`, which is easier to search on
the Web, and clearer in email:
https://ss64.com/bash/source.html
The closest equivalent in Raku is:
https://docs.raku.org/routine/EVALFILE
, which could be used for config data like so:
$ cat a.dat
$foo = "bar";
$baz = "quxx";
$ perl6 -e 'our ($foo, $baz); EVALFILE "a.dat"; .say for $foo, $baz;'
bar
quxx
, but please do not use it for this purpose.
EVALFILE is in all-caps to show that it might be dangerous and not for general
use; it is “grep-able evil”, and could eval any valid Raku code, even evil
things like `run “rm -rf /“`.
IMHO, Bash's `source`-style of loading variables pollutes the main namespace
and causes hard-to-debug “action at a distance”.
In Raku (or any other dynamic language), the use of some kind of Config module
is safer and cleaner:
https://modules.raku.org/t/CONFIG
https://github.com/raku-community-modules/perl6-Config-JSON
https://github.com/Skarsnik/perl6-config-simple
https://metacpan.org/pod/Config::Tiny
For example:
$ cat config.json
{
"baz": "quxx",
"foo": "bar”
}
$ perl6 -e 'use Config::JSON; my %c; %c{$_} = jconf($_) for ; say
%c{$_} for ;'
bar
quxx
$ cat b.dat
foo = bar
baz = quxx
$ perl6 -e 'use Config::Tiny:from; my $conf =
Config::Tiny.read("b.dat"); .say for $conf<_>'
bar
quxx
