Is that... Don't use File::Slurp for this use case or is it don't use File::Slurp EVER! ???

For me, it's ever ... despite being good mates with File::Slurp's original author Uri Guttman. :)

Though mostly a matter of taste for individuals working alone, dependencies are crucial when working in teams and especially for CPAN authors (such as the BOD :) because the price of depending on simple convenience modules, such as File::Slurp, is way too high:

It's a different story for more complex domains, such as DBI and XML, where it makes sense to leverage the work of experts in fields that you are not expert in.

More detail on this topic can be found in the Dependencies section at Writing Solid CPAN Modules.
