I'm one of those rare and wonderful souls who uses gump. Not the forest brand though. More of a Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas kind of gump - Johnny Depp sliding don't take any gump from these people down the side of his cigarette here and there. I'm also a major supporter of slurp. If I'm reading a data file into an array, I tend to always slurp it, especially in quick dirty ugly one-time scripts, though properly error checked and happily strict, it will still appear in my long-running production code.

open(A, "gump.txt);
@slurp = <A>;
chomp @slurp;

Food sounds are yummy.
