Re: need native call help

Hi Todd, 

Here are a few U&L StackExchange answers that I wrote using Raku's `unlink`:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/459521/how-to-truncate-file-to-maximum-number-of-characters-not-bytes/751267#751267

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/749558/remove-exact-line-from-file-if-present-leave-the-rest-of-lines-error-handling/749581#749581

(Suggestions welcome).

HTH, Bill
