Re: Favourite modules March 2004

++ for pointing me towards File::Slurp, I'd like to see this one added to the core along with an implementation of tilly's idea, perhaps r/R?

I'd like to see [`slurp`] added to the core Then take a look at Perl6::Slurp for a Perl 5 implementation of our current notion of Perl 6's `slurp` built-in. What? You meant "added to the Perl 5 core"? Sorry, can't help there... `;-)`	[reply]

Why in CORE? Besides, module is broken.	[reply]

Because I use perl on a large number and variety of machines where installing modules is not always practical or possible, if it is in core I don't have to worry. I understand there are moves afoot to "slim down" core and I don't object to that but personally I think both of the modules I mentioned are small and useful enough to warrant including them... not that I expect my opinion to carry any weight :) -- Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise.
