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

    my $file_contents = do { local $/;  <$file_handle> };

    my $file_contents = do { local $/;  <FILEHANDLE> };

That's what I get for writing up a note just before lunch. I missed the `local` (but normally include that when altering the record separator). Thanks for the correction.	[reply] [d/l]
