in thread Perl 5's greatest limitation is...?

Many keystrokes when working with files? Ever had to do anything file related in VBScript? That's what I call many keystrokes. Set FS = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") anyone?

    you're right: perl is better than VBScript.

    But it is worse than perl6, where it is allowed to do my $contents = "filename".slurp;

    Currently there are limitations, but moving to right direction :)
