Hi,
In my Perl Tutorial http://szabgab.com/perl_tutorial.html
I am teaching regular, 3 -parameter open and using
while (my $row = <$fh>) { }
for reading a file. Similar way writing a file.
I got some comments that I should use and teach
https://metacpan.org/module/IO::All instead.
I discussed that and some related issues in
http://szabgab.com/how-to-teach-modern-perl.html
I was also told to use https://metacpan.org/module/File::Slurp
Others told me to avoid it because it does not deal with layers.
Specifically utf8.
Since then, I found https://metacpan.org/module/File::Open and I think
it's nice.
It improves the open() command in a way that I think more natural than
the built-in
open but it does not change the way you read the content.
I suggested to Lukas Mai, the author of File::Open an additional API to
have a function called oopen that would work like the fopen of File::Open
but would return an object on which I could call ->slurp or
->readline or ->readall.
No reply so far. I might implement it in a separate module
and integrate later if he agrees.
So how do you read and write files?
How would you like to read and write files?
What do you think about my oopen idea?
regards
Gabor
