in reply to Re^3: Introsepcting the current Perl file via DATA, even w/o DATA?
in thread Introspecting the current Perl file via DATA, even w/o DATA?

To clarify, the source filter thing should work, and maybe there is a way to make the file to stick around after BEGIN (without __DATA__), but in my opinion that's a bit too obscure and I don't see anything particularly complex or performance-intensive in just opening it again... but YMMV.
