NAME
File::Slurp::Tiny - A simple, sane and efficient file slurper

VERSION
version 0.003

SYNOPSIS
 use File::Slurp::Tiny 'read_file';
 my $content = read_file($filename);

DESCRIPTION
This module provides functions for fast and correct slurping and spewing. All functions are optionally exported.

FUNCTIONS

  read_file($filename, %options)
Reads file $filename into a scalar. By default it returns this scalar. Can optionally take these named arguments:

•   binmode

    Set the layers to read the file with. The default will be something sensible on your platform.

•   buf_ref

    Pass a reference to a scalar to read the file into, instead of returning it by value. This has performance benefits.

•   scalar_ref

    If set to true, "read_file" will return a reference to a scalar containing the file content.

  read_lines($filename, %options)
Reads file $filename into a list/array. By default it returns this list. Can optionally take these named arguments:

•   binmode

    Set the layers to read the file with. The default will be something sensible on your platform.

•   array_ref

    Pass a reference to an array to read the lines into, instead of returning them by value. This has performance benefits.

•   chomp

    "chomp" the lines.

  write_file($filename, $content, %options)
Open $filename, and write $content to it. Can optionally take this named argument:

•   binmode

    Set the layers to write the file with. The default will be something sensible on your platform.

  read_dir($dirname, %options)
Open "dirname" and return all entries except "." and "..". Can optionally take this named argument:

•   prefix

    This will prepend $dir to the entries
