Subject: Uses File::Slurp, known to be buggy and vulnerable
e.g. look at https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=83126 and be dismayed File::Slurper was written to be a drop-in replacement. Path::Tiny is also excellent

I never understood why that bug is as dire as everyone seems to say it is, but I do understand Unicode wizards are subtle and quick to anger. Fortunately File::Slurp is only used in tests and examples, so there's no real vulnerability. And I'll take any excuse to replace the multitude of File modules with Path::Tiny in any project. Thanks for the heads up, I'll fix it in a jiff.
