hi all,

as i said, the last meeting gave me some good solutions and they are
implemented. the current beta for File::Slurp is at:

        sysarch.com File-Slurp-9999.14.tar.gz

it has support for overloaded objects for both read_file and write_file
with a test for both. the pod has been updated to reflect that and it
also is cleaned up for passing in io handles. some patches were applied
from a tester and they make it work back to at least 5.005. there are
still a few tests which fail on winblows. if those of you who
volunteered to test and/or fix those tests, can download and hack away,
it would be very helpful. it passes all tests on my linux perl 5.10
setup.


here are the reported windoze tests that fail:

#   Failed test 'read_file of :utf8 file'
#   at t/binmode.t line 29.
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 2.
t/binmode.t ........... 

# Looks like you planned 7 tests but ran 6.
t/error.t ............. 
Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)

#   Failed test 'default perms works'
#   at t/perms.t line 19.
#          got: '438'
#     expected: '416'

#   Failed test 'set perms works'
#   at t/perms.t line 23.
#          got: '438'
#     expected: '488'
# Looks like you failed 2 tests of 2.
t/perms.t ............. 
Dubious, test returned 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)
Failed 2/2 subtests 


see if you can reproduce them and even fix them. yes, i can also try the
free virtual machine redmond is offering. i could also see if hemlock
will kill me! :)

thanx,

uri
