Glad to hear, Shawn, and the Perl 6 version is looking that way, too.

You Perl people really should look into Perl 6. I started with Perl 4 back
in 1993, went
to Perl 5 later than I should have (and used it to execute SQLite2 when I
first
heard about it), and ran with that until 2015 when I saw Perl 6
was almost ready for its first stable release.

I quickly realized Perl 6 is the Perl I envisioned, and have rarely gone
back
except to port favorite old scripts to Perl 6.

I invite you to visit <https://perl6.org> and look around. The community is
as
welcoming as this one has been to me.  The real place to hang out is the
#perl6 IRC channel.

By the way, in Perl 6, slurp is built-in and works great.

Best regards, and Happy Perling!
