I'd like to see [slurp] added to the core
Then take a look at Perl6::Slurp for a Perl 5 implementation of our current notion of Perl 6's slurp built-in.
What? You meant "added to the Perl 5 core"? Sorry, can't help there... ;-)

Why in CORE? Besides, module is broken. | [reply] |
Because I use perl on a large number and variety of machines where installing modules is not always practical or possible, if it is in core I don't have to worry.
I understand there are moves afoot to "slim down" core and I don't object to that but personally I think both of the modules I mentioned are small and useful enough to warrant including them... not that I expect my opinion to carry any weight :)
