in reply to RFC: new.pm - a perl -e use/new shortener

This is really cool. You can use the -M sugar allowing comma-separated args to simplify the syntax further: 

$ cat text.txt
hello, world

$ perl -Mnew=Path::Tiny,file,text.txt -E'
say $file->slurp;
'
hello, world

I think a good improvement would be to load the strict and warnings pragmas automatically.

(Also suggest: $ABSTRACT =~ s/shorted/shortens/;)


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    Mentioning -M from perlrun is a good point.

    I tend to disagree, especially regarding strict.

    strict is a must for longer scripts, but don't really pay off with one liners which need to be concise.

    If ever this should be optional.
