Hi Perl Monks. Longtime listener, first time caller.

I want to know if there is an all-inclusive module that mimics PHP functions such as basename, urlencode, trim, file_put_contents, and file_get_contents.

I know that importing thousands of functions at once isn't efficient especially for large-scale projects, but I usually have small scripts and so I do not care so much about efficiency. I mean, if my code runs in 1s instead of 0.5s then it is completely worth it if I do not have to spend another second typing in use File::Basename or if I can use trim() instead of s/^\s+|\s+$/g.

Thank you for your help, Perl Monks!

Edit Thanks Perl Monks! You've really helped me!
