NAME

6       File::Slurp::Tiny - A simple, sane and efficient file slurper
7       [DISCOURAGED]
8

VERSION

10       version 0.004
11

SYNOPSIS

13        use File::Slurp::Tiny 'read_file';
14        my $content = read_file($filename);
15

DISCOURAGED

17       This module is discouraged in favor of File::Slurper. While a useful
18       experiment, it turned out to be both too similar to File::Slurp (still
19       containing most problematic features of File::Slurp's interface) and
20       yet not similar enough to be a true drop-in replacement.
21
22       Bugs will still be fixed, but new features will probably not be added.
23

DESCRIPTION

25       This module provides functions for fast and correct slurping and
26       spewing. All functions are optionally exported.
27

FUNCTIONS

29   read_file($filename, %options)
30       Reads file $filename into a scalar. By default it returns this scalar.
31       Can optionally take these named arguments:
32
33       ·   binmode
34
35           Set the layers to read the file with. The default will be something
36           sensible on your platform.
37
38       ·   buf_ref
39
40           Pass a reference to a scalar to read the file into, instead of
41           returning it by value. This has performance benefits.
42
43       ·   scalar_ref
44
45           If set to true, "read_file" will return a reference to a scalar
46           containing the file content.
47
48   read_lines($filename, %options)
49       Reads file $filename into a list/array. By default it returns this
50       list. Can optionally take these named arguments:
51
52       ·   binmode
53
54           Set the layers to read the file with. The default will be something
55           sensible on your platform.
56
57       ·   array_ref
58
59           Pass a reference to an array to read the lines into, instead of
60           returning them by value. This has performance benefits.
61
62       ·   chomp
63
64           "chomp" the lines.
65
66   write_file($filename, $content, %options)
67       Open $filename, and write $content to it. Can optionally take this
68       named argument:
69
70       ·   binmode
71
72           Set the layers to write the file with. The default will be
73           something sensible on your platform.
74
75   read_dir($dirname, %options)
76       Open "dirname" and return all entries except "." and "..". Can
77       optionally take this named argument:
78
79       ·   prefix
80
81           This will prepend $dir to the entries
82
