Why not use File::Slurp?

See File::Slurp is broken and wrong.

Huh, very interesting. Sounds like I will probably be switching over to File::Slurper from now on.

Thanks!

Path::Tiny's helpers are great and the package has a lot more than slurping to offer.

Why not use File::Slurp?

One reason is what hippo said, the other being that this is IMO one of those cases where pure Perl does everything I need - I can read lines in list context and I can use layers like :raw, :crlf, and :encoding(...) - there's really no need to load a module. (Unless I'm doing additional stuff, like filename manipulation, in which case I usually use Path::Class, which has slurping and spewing built in.)
