VERSION

$Id: Slurp.pm,v 0.2 2009/06/10 05:51:19 dankogai Exp dankogai $

SYNOPSIS

Quick summary of what the module does.

Perhaps a little code snippet.

use File::Glob::Slurp;
# slurps path/to/filename.ext
my $home = <path/to/filename.ext>; 
# you can do this if you have LWP::Simple
my $away = <http://example.com/>;

EXPORT

tweaks CORE::GLOBAL::glob

DESCRIPTION

HACK #90 of PERL HACK proved that <*glob*> operator is a pretty good place to implement micro-DSL. This module turns ancient *glob* operator into modern slurp operator!

As shown in "SYNOPSIS", The overridden <> slurps not only local files but also URL if you have LWP::Simple installed.

CAVEAT

Unfortunately <> also acts as readline(). Therefore

my $content = <$path>;

Does not work. In such cases simply add whitespece like:

my $content = < $path >;
