Is there a preferred approach for copying an entire file into a string
variable, while preserving the record delimiters (the newline
character)?
I have found two examples; is either of them a good approach?
open (FILE,$filename) || die "Cannot open '$filename': $!";
undef $/;
my $file_as_string = <FILE>;
open (FILE,$filename) || die "Cannot open '$filename': $!";
my $file_as_string = join '', <FILE>;
