NAME File::Slurp::Shortcuts - Several shortcut functions for File::Slurp VERSION version 0.03 SYNOPSIS # instead of 'use File::Slurp', you 'use File::Slurp::Shortcuts' instead use File::Slurp::Shortcuts qw(slurp_cq ...); my $email = slurp_cq('/home/user1/etc/email'); my @domains = slurp_cq('/home/user1/etc/domains'); ... DESCRIPTION File::Slurp::Shortcuts is a drop-in replacement for File::Slurp, offering more shortcut functions for convenience. It currently also adds autochomping to read_file(). About autochomping: It is supposed to be in the upcoming version of File::Slurp, but since I'm tired of waiting, this module is the band-aid solution. It wraps read_file() (and slurp()) so it handles the chomp option. It reads in file containing, e.g. "foo\n" into Perl data as "foo". FUNCTIONS For the complete list of functions available, see File::Slurp. Below are functions introduced by File::Slurp::Shortcuts: read_file_c($path, %opts) (or slurp_c) Shortcut for: read_file('path', chomp=>1, ...) read_file_cq($path, %opts) (or slurp_cq) Shortcut for: read_file('path', chomp=>1, err_mode=>'quiet', ...) I use this a lot to retrieve configuration value from files. read_file_q($path, %opts) (or slurp_q) Shortcut for: read_file('path', err_mode=>'quiet', ...) I use this a lot to read files that are optional. SEE ALSO File::Slurp, obviously. AUTHOR Steven Haryanto COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2011 by Steven Haryanto.
