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!
