+Revision history File::Slurp
+
+9999.19 Tue Jun 7 04:06:06 EDT 2011
+ - Fixed use line in t/edit_file.t to import :edit first
+ Thanks to paul
+ - read_file and write_file work even when interrupted by signals
+ this includes a test for read_file interrupt
+ Thanks to Andrew Danforth
+ - Fixed bugs in the config synopsis example
+
+9999.18 Fri May 13 02:30:05 EDT 2011
+ - Added :std and :edit export tags
+ - Cleaned up EXPORT vars
+ - Documented importing edit_file and edit_file_lines
+ - Fixed some pod spelling
+
+9999.17 Wed Apr 27 02:20:03 EDT 2011
+ - Requiring Perl 5.6.2 (first time older Perls were dropped)
+ This is because of use of the re 'taint' pragma
+ - Added major new features: edit_file and edit_file_lines
+ - Speed up of tainted slurp with return of lines
+ - Added chomp option to read_file
+ - Added prefix option to read_dir
+ - Fixed optimization of reading small files.
+
+9999.16 Wed Apr 13 03:47:26 EDT 2011
+ - Added support for read_file options to be a hash reference.
+ - Added support for read_dir options to be a hash reference.
+ - Added new feature prepend_file
+ - Fixed bug with array_ref in list context. was introduced by .15/.14
+ Thanks to Norbert Gruener
+ - Cleaned up some pod
+
+9999.15 Thu Mar 24 16:40:19 EDT 2011
+ - Fixed error.t test so it works when run as root
+ - Removed skip lines from error.t
+ - Fixed pod about binmode option to reflect changes in .14
+
+9999.14 Sun Mar 20 16:26:47 EDT 2011
+ - Added LICENCE (same as perl) to POD
+ - Added special faster code to slurp in small text files which
+ is a common case
+ - Rewrote the extras/slurp_bench.pl script. It has a full
+ legend, better CLI options, size is selectable, benchmark
+ entries have more consistant names and it compares the new
+ fast slurp for small files to the general slurp code.
+ Thanks to Mark Friendlich
+ - Cleaned up pod
+ - Added more Synopsis examples
+ - Added t/error.t to actually test error conditions. Previous
+ error.t was renamed to error_mode.t which better reflects its
+ tests.
+ - t/error.t uses a new test driver module. this may get used by
+ other tests in the future.
+ - Fixed check for SEEK_SET and other constant subs being defined
+ - Added support for binmode other than :raw and binmode.t test
+ Thanks to Martin J. Evans, Peter Edwards, Bryce Nesbitt
+ - Added support for perms option in write_file and perms.t test
+ Thanks to Peter Corlett and Paul Miller
+ - Added check to the rename call in atomic mode. Tested in error.t.
+ Thanks to Daniel Scott Sterling
+ - Added POD to state that using scalar_ref or buf_ref will be faster
+ and save memory due to not making a copy
+ Thanks to Peter Edwards
+ - read_file in list mode keeps data tainted
+ Thanks to Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni
+ - read_file checks for an overloaded object to get the file
+ name.
+ Thanks to Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni
+
+9999.13 Tue Oct 10 02:04:51 EDT 2006
+ - Refactored the extras/slurp_bench.pl script. It has options,
+ a key the benchmarks, help and more benchmarks.
+ - Reordered changes so recent entries are first
+ - Added error check on atomic rename and test for it
+ Thanks to Daniel Scott Sterling
+
+9999.12 Thu Feb 2 02:26:31 EST 2006
+ - Fixed bug on windows with classic slurping and File::Slurp not
+ agreeing on newline conversion.
+ - Added t/newline.t test to check for that fix.
+ - When passing text data by scalar reference to write_file under
+ windows, the buffer is copied so the newline conversion won't
+ modify the caller's data.
+ - Thanks to Johan Lodin <lodin@cpan.org> for a test script which
+ I modified into t/newline.t
+
+9999.11 Fri Jan 20 01:24:00 EDT 2005
+ - Quick release to remove code that forced the faked SEEK_*
+ values to be used. Showed up when tested on OSX which doesn't
+ need that backport.
+
+9999.10 Thu Jan 19 11:38:00 EDT 2005
+ - t/*.t modules don't use Fcntl.pm
+ - using POSIX qw( :fcntl_h ) instead of Fcntl qw( :seek ) for
+ backwards compatiblity to 5.00503
+ - added conditional definitions of SEEK_* and O_* subs as they are not
+ defined in perl 5.004
+ - File::Slurp now runs on perl 5.004 and newer (see BUGS section)
+ All of the above thanks to Smylers <Smylers@stripey.com>,
+ Piers Kent <piers.kent@bbc.co.uk> and
+ John Alden <john.alden@bbc.co.uk>
+ - Added pod.t and pod_coverage.t tests. This is to pass all
+ the CPANTS tests.
+
+9999.09 Tue Apr 19 01:21:55 EDT 2005
+ - t/original.t and read_dir.t no longer search for tempdirs. they just
+ use the current dir which should be in the build directory
+ - t/readdir.t renamed to read_dir.t for consistancy
+ - write_file return values are docuemented
+ Thanks to Adam Kennedy <adamk@cpan.org>
+ - added no_clobber option to write_file and t/no_clobber.t test for it
+ Thanks to <pagaltzis@gmx.de>
+ - fixed bug when appending a null string to a file which then
+ truncates it. seems to be an odd way for linux and OS X to
+ handle O_APPEND mode on sysopen. they don't seek to the end of
+ the file so it gets truncated. fixed by adding a seek to the
+ end if in append mode.n
+ Thanks to Chris Dolan <cdolan@cpan.org>
+
+9999.08 Sat Apr 16 01:01:27 EDT 2005
+ - read_dir returns an array ref in scalar context
+ - read_dir keeps . and .. if keep_dot_dot option is set.
+ Thanks to John Alden <john.alden@bbc.co.uk>
+ - slurp() is an optional exported alias to read_file
+ Thanks to Damian Conway <damian@conway.org>
+
+9999.07 Tue Jan 25 01:33:11 EST 2005
+ - Slurping in pseudo files (as in /proc) which show a size of 0
+ but actually have data works. This seems to be the case on
+ linux but on Solaris those files show their proper size.
+ Thanks to Juerd Waalboer <juerd@cpan.org>
+
+9999.06 Mon Sep 20 01:57:00 EDT 2004
+ - Slurping the DATA handle now works without the workaround.
+ tests are in t/data_scalar.t and t/data_list.t
+ - Paragraph mode in read_file is supported. As with <> when $/
+ (input record separator) is set to '', then the input file is
+ split on multiple newlines (/\n\n+/).
+ Thanks to Geoffrey Leach <geoff@direcway.com>
+
+9999.05 Tue Feb 24 21:14:55 EST 2004
+ - skip handle tests where socketpair is not supported (pre 5.8
+ on windows)
+ Thanks to Mike Arms <marms@sandia.gov>
+
+9999.04 Mon Feb 23 14:20:52 EST 2004
+ - fixed DATA handle bug in t/handle.t (not seen on most OS's)
+ Thanks to James Willmore <jwillmore@adelphia.net>
+
+9999.03 Mon Dec 22 01:44:43 EST 2003
+ - fixed DATA handle bugs in t/handle.t on osx (should be fixed
+ on BSD as well)
+ - added more comments to code
+
+9999.02 Wed Dec 17 03:40:49 EST 2003
+ - skip DATA test in handle.t on OSX (bug in perl with sysread on DATA)
+ - changed checking if file handle from fileno to ref
+ from Randal Schwartz <merlyn@stonehenge.com>
+ - added support for atomic spewing
+ - added new test stdin.t for the fileno/ref change
+ - added new test inode.t to test atomic spewing
+
+9999.01 Mon Sep 1 00:20:56 2003
+ - original version; created by h2xs 1.21 with options
+ -AX -n File::FastSlurp
+
