I'm happy to factor out the slurping, but I don't care too much about 
print vs. syswrite.  I'd probably rather use print, just because it's 
more standard and easier to fiddle with.

Speed isn't really a major consideration here, maintainability is a lot 
more important.  I do find the IO::File interface a bit more pleasant 
than using globs or the Symbol module (which is really just globs too).
