Quick question, instead of doing a while(<HTML>){$template .= $_;}
couldn't you just localize $/ and then slurp the file into $template?
In other words, do this:
sub getTemplate {
my ($t,$template);
return undef unless $t = $_[0];
local $/ = undef;
open(HTML, $_[0]) || print "Could not open $t: $!";
$template = <HTML>;
close(HTML);
return $template;
}
To the Gurus: Would this be faster or the same as doing it with the
while?
