FWIW, `slurp` is mentioned in Exegesis 7: "And, yes, Perl 6 does have a built-in slurp function that takes a filename, opens the file, reads in the entire contents, and returns them as a single string. For more details see the Perl6::Slurp module (now on the CPAN)." -- matt diephouse http://matt.diephouse.com
