9999.14   Sun Mar 20 16:26:47 EDT 2011
        - Added LICENCE (same as perl) to POD
        - Added special faster code to slurp in small text files which
          is a common case
        - Rewrote the extras/slurp_bench.pl script. It has a full
          legend, better CLI options, size is selectable, benchmark
          entries have more consistant names and it compares the new
          fast slurp for small files to the general slurp code.
                Thanks to Mark Friendlich
        - Cleaned up pod
        - Added more Synopsis examples
        - Added t/error.t to actually test error conditions. Previous
          error.t was renamed to error_mode.t which better reflects its
          tests.
        - t/error.t uses a new test driver module. this may get used by
          other tests in the future.
        - Fixed check for SEEK_SET and other constant subs being defined
        - Added support for binmode other than :raw and binmode.t test
                Thanks to Martin J. Evans, Peter Edwards, Bryce Nesbitt
        - Added support for perms option in write_file and perms.t test
                Thanks to Peter Corlett and Paul Miller
        - Added check to the rename call in atomic mode. Tested in error.t.
                Thanks to Daniel Scott Sterling
        - Added POD to state that using scalar_ref or buf_ref will be faster
          and save memory due to not making a copy
                Thanks to Peter Edwards
        - read_file in list mode keeps data tainted
                Thanks to Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni
        - read_file checks for an overloaded object to get the file
          name. 
                Thanks to Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni
