NAME File::Slurp::Shortcuts - Several shortcut functions for File::Slurp VERSION version 0.05 SYNOPSIS # instead of 'use File::Slurp', you 'use File::Slurp::Shortcuts' instead DESCRIPTION File::Slurp::Shortcuts is a drop-in replacement for File::Slurp, offering more shortcut functions for convenience. It exports all File::Slurp exports. It currently also adds autochomping to read_file(). About autochomping: It is supposed to be in the upcoming version of File::Slurp, but since I'm tired of waiting, this module is the band-aid solution. It wraps read_file() (and slurp()) so it handles the chomp option. It reads in file containing, e.g. "foo\n" into Perl data as "foo". FUNCTIONS For the complete list of functions available, see File::Slurp. Below are functions introduced by File::Slurp::Shortcuts: read_file_c($path, %opts) (or slurp_c) Shortcut for: read_file('path', chomp=>1, ...) slurp_c Alias for read_file_c read_file_cq($path, %opts) (or slurp_cq) Shortcut for: read_file('path', chomp=>1, err_mode=>'quiet', ...) I personally use this a lot to retrieve configuration value from files. slurp_cq Alias for read_file_cq read_file_q($path, %opts) (or slurp_q) Shortcut for: read_file('path', err_mode=>'quiet', ...) I personally use this a lot to read files that are optional. slurp_q Alias for read_file_q SEE ALSO File::Slurp, obviously. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at .
