Circles of given radius through two points
multi sub circles (@A, @B where ([and] @A Z== @B), 0.0) { 'Degenerate point' }
multi sub circles (@A, @B where ([and] @A Z== @B), $) { 'Infinitely many share a point' }
multi sub circles (@A, @B, $radius) {

my @diff = @A Z- @B;
my $q = sqrt [+] @diff X** 2;
return 'Too far apart' if $q > $radius * 2;
my @orth = -@diff[0], @diff[1] X* sqrt($radius ** 2 - ($q / 2) ** 2) / $q;

Another possibility is to use the Complex plane, for it often makes calculations easier with plane geometry:
