Changes for version 9999.06 - 2004-09-20

  • 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>
