This: for ( @$BinaryFile ) -> $Char { $StrFile ~= chr($Char); } is better written as my $StrFile = $BinaryFile.map(*.chr).reduce(* ~ *); It is also exactly equivalent to just e # if $BinaryFile is a Buf my $StrFile = $BinaryFile.decode('latin1'); # if it isn't my $StrF

Subs do not need to have a `return` statement if it is returning the last value. You also broke the return value of the subroutine that I wrote by assigning it to a variable. What I wrote would return `Nil` if it failed to find a match, yours will return an undefined `Int`. It should return `Nil`
