Thanks for the work on File-Slurp

[James E Keenan]

I want to commend Chase Whitener for his work on bringing File-Slurp
into perl-5.30-readiness.

perl-5.29.8 hit the net this morning and this afternoon I ran my "cpan
river 3000" program for that release. Although there were problems with
that run (which is why I haven't yet posted results to perl5-porters),
one thing is clear: Many distributions where were not being reached for
building and testing during the run of this program in earlier months in
this perl dev cycle were reached this month because, for the first time,
File::Slurp passed its tests against blead, thereby enabling its revdeps
to be reached during testing.

I can't say for certain that these distros were reached and PASSed
because of the resolution of the File-Slurp problems, but I suspect
that's the case for most of them.

Thanks again, genio!
