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::Slurp::Tiny and Path::Tiny are both excellent alternatives.

Changed to File::Slurp::Tiny in version 0.1.8, which will appear soon. Thanks for the suggestion. But do you really think it's that bad? JJ

So ether doesn't have to do a "yes i meant the thing i said": Yes, it really is that bad. Almost every other choice is better. :)

Biggest bug of all then is in the Perl FAQ http://perldoc.perl.org/perlfaq5.html#How-can-I-read-in-an-entire-file-all-at-once? Too much work to go module by module telling people to fix it. I do use it in most of my modules, in fact... Will have to change it. Fortunately, switch to File::Slurp::Tiny is painless.
