since you are correct about modules being already there, why do you
write your own versions of
slurp_file and write_file? the module File::Slurp has those
functions which are stable, fast and debugged.
Good point. I decided just to show the OP how to do it in a better
way than his `cat`.
There are issues concerning File::Slurp it seems, which I did not
want to drag into this topic.
For the issues in question see:
http://blogs.perl.org/users/leon_timmermans/2015/08/fileslurp-is-broken-and-wrong.html
file::slurp has over 600 reverse dependencies on cpan and is used in
many perl shops. i would call that pretty stable and useful.
I myself am a user of the module, so I happily take your word for it. I
just hesitated to mention your module because of the above posting.
I hope the differences in opinions regarding the issues will soon be
resolved. (If they aren't already.)
