I typically do like so: I do want to say, though, that if it's in any way feasible for you to do whatever operation you're doing on one line of the file at a time, you ought to try doing it that way. The structure of Perl encourages you to do things one-line-at-a-time because it's a good idea.

I typically do like so:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1.       open(FH, $file) or die "$!";
2.       my $sdpString = join('', <FH>);
3.       close FH;
4.       print $sdpString;
5.

Do it the way I show above, much more effcient than using join(), but if its a small file it won't matter much.
