Thanks much, Deane.
I found a relevant Perl Monastery article titled, "How do I read an entire file into a string?" here:
http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=1952
The Perl Monastery also links to an article on slurping at: http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2003/11/21/slurp.html.
Wow. Lots of food for thought.

If my memory serves me with some degree of faith, I seem to remember reading once -- I think in these missives, or perhaps the Perl Monastery -- that slurping in a file can, in certain circumstances, actually be slower than reading/processing line-by-line.
HTH,
Deane
