Hi All,
I am looking for an easier way to load a buffer.
I know about this way
[4] > my Buf $b=Buf.new(0x2A, 0x54, 0xFF, 0x53);
Buf:0x<2A 54 FF 53>
I would like to do it on one big blast:
my Buf $b=Buf.new(0x2A54FF53A5F1D36F1CEA7E61FC37A20D54A77FE7B78);
Cannot unbox 170 bit wide bigint into native integer
But do not know the proper syntax.
Any words of wisdom? Am I stuck with the hard way?
Many thanks,

Came up with a Raku way of doing what I want.
And dropping the need for Buf at the same time:

40
