You could also undef the separator and match globally ...Be aware that the code given will globally alter the $/ package variable (see perlvar).
A more 'idiomatic' way to slurp the contents of a file without globally changing $/ (if you do not use the File::Slurp module or an equivalent) is with the statement
ormy $file_contents = do { local $/; <$file_handle> };
my $file_contents = do { local $/; <FILEHANDLE> };
