Ah, well I actually use Path::Tony's slurp functionality mostly, depending on if it's already available in the project (which it is in any I set up).

It's easier to just say File::Slurp in mixed company so people immediately know what it is if they look it up, rather than them be confronted with a grab-bag of functions.

File::Slurper is just as immediately obvious, and happens to not be fundamentally misdesigned :) Path::Tiny is also great.
