tell

See the current Perl documentation for tell.

Here is our local, out-dated (pre-5.6) version:

tell - get current seekpointer on a filehandle

---

tell FILEHANDLE

tell

---

Returns the current position for FILEHANDLE. FILEHANDLE may be an expression whose value gives the name of the actual filehandle. If FILEHANDLE is omitted, assumes the file last read.
