-File::Slurp.pm
-===========================
-
-This module provides subroutines to read or write entire files with a
-simple call.  It also has a subroutine for reading the list of filenames
-in a directory.
-
-In the extras/ directory you can read an article (slurp_article.pod)
-about file slurping and also run a benchmark (slurp_bench.pl) that
-compares many ways of slurping/spewing files. This benchmark was
-rewritten for .14 and is much better.
-
-This module was first written and owned by David Muir Sharnoff (MUIR on
-CPAN).  I checked out his module and decided to write a new version
-which would be faster and with many more features.  To that end, David
-graciously transfered the namespace to me.
-
-There have been some comments about the somewhat unusual version number.
-The problem was that David used a future date (2004.0904) in his version
-number, and the only way I could get CPAN to index my new module was to
-make it have a version number higher than the old one, so I chose the
-9999 prefix and appended the real revision number to it.
