Hallo Jeff Pinyan,

>   $file = do { local $/, <FILE> };

it's not a good idea anyway. The file's content will be read in
"within the do block" and then be _copied_ to $file. Therefore,
this approach consumes nearly twice as much memory as

	my $file;
	{
	  local $/;
	  $file = $file
	}

which is -- of course -- IMHO not as much fun as your version. :-) :-/

fany.
