Should <$fdat{file}> work?

[martin langhoff]

hi,

        I'm using mod_perl 1.24 and Embperl 1.2.1 and I'd like to know if
using  construct like

{
        local $/ = undef;
        $filecontents = <$fdat{file}>;
} 
        
        is supported/supposed to work. Reading the man pages, it seems that the
'official' way is to take the "binary clean" path and use read(). But
I'm lazy, and old vices are hard to give up. I'm used to the <> readline
shortcut for text files, and I'd still like to use it.
