It will return the entire contents of the file as a scalar.</p> </dd> <dt><strong><A NAME="paths_eq" class="item">paths_eq</a></strong></dt> <dd> <p>Given to paths, this function indicates whether they represent the same location on the filesystem. It does not account for symlinks.</p> </dd> <dt><strong><A NAME="compress_path" class="item">compress_path</a></strong></dt> <dd> <p>This turns a component path into a filesystem-friendly path by escaping potentially meaningful characters.</p> </dd> <dt><strong><A NAME="absolute_comp_path" class="item">absolute_comp_path</a></strong></dt> <dd> <p>Given a component path and a directory path, this function returns the absolute component path, prepending the directory path if needed.</p> </dd> <dt><strong><A NAME="mason_canonpath" class="item">mason_canonpath</a></strong></dt> <dd> <p>This function cleans up a component path and returns its canonical version. It is largely the same as File::Spec::Unix::canonpath, with a few additional cleanups.</p> </dd> <dt><strong><A NAME="pkg_installed" class="item">pkg_installed</a></strong></dt> <dd> <p>Given a module name, this function returns true or false to indicate whether or not a corresponding <em class="file">.pm</em> file exists.</p> </dd> <dt><strong><A NAME="pkg_loaded" class="item">pkg_loaded</a></strong></dt> <dd> <p>Given a module name, this function returns true or false to indicate whether or not the module has been loaded into memory.</p> </dd> <dt><strong><A NAME="load_pkg" class="item">load_pkg</a></strong></dt> <dd> <p>Given a module name, this function attempts to load it. It takes an additional boolean parameter indicating whether or not to throw an exception if the module cannot be found. By default, if the module cannot be found, this function simply returns false.</p> <p>All errors generate exceptions no matter what.</p> <p>If the module is loaded successfully, this function returns true.</p> </dd> <dt><strong><A NAME="taint_is_on" class="item">taint_is_on</a></strong></dt> <dd> <p>Returns a boolean value indicating whether taint mode is on or not.</p> </dd> <dt><strong><A NAME="coerce_to_array" class="item">coerce_to_array</a></strong></dt> <dd> <p>Given a scalar, which may be a reference, this function attempts to return an array. It throws an HTML::Mason::Exception::Params exception if this can't be done.</p> <p>This function is called from the generated component code as part of a component's argument handling.</p> </dd> <dt><strong><A NAME="coerce_to_hash" class="item">coerce_to_hash</a></strong></dt> <dd> <p>Given a scalar, which may be a reference, this function attempts to return a hash. It throws an HTML::Mason::Exception::Params exception if this can't be done.</p> <p>This function is called from the generated component code as part of a component's argument handling.</p> </dd> <dt><strong><A NAME="checksum" class="item">checksum</a></strong></dt> <dd> <p>Computes a simple checksum of a string.
