+File::Slurp.pm version 0.04
+===========================
+
+This module provides subroutines to read or write entire files with a
+simple call.  It also has a subroutine for reading the list of filenames
+in a directory.
+
+In the extras/ directory you can read an article (slurp_article.pod)
+about file slurping and also run a benchmark (slurp_bench.pl) that
+compares many ways of slurping/spewing files.
+
+This module was first written and owned by David Muir Sharnoff (MUIR on
+CPAN).  I checked out his module and decided to write a new version
+which would be faster, and with many more features.  To that end, David
+graciously transfered the namespace to me.
+
+Since then, I discovered and fixed a bug in the original module's test
+script (which had only 7 tests), which is included now as t/original.t.
+This module now has 164 tests in 7 test scripts, and passes on Windows,
+Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X.
+
+There have been some comments about the somewhat unusual version number.
+The problem was that David used a future date (2004.0904) in his version
+number, and the only way I could get CPAN to index my new module was to
+make it have a version number higher than the old one, so I chose the
+9999 prefix and appended the real revision number to it.
