Well, I'm not who you asked for so feel free to ignore me. I've said it before and it works for me:
my @lines= do { local *ARGV; @ARGV= $name; <> };
I have tested it while in the middle of using
<> to read from files given on the command
line and it read the lines from the named file and then the next <> resumed right where it had left off.
Perhaps you could post some code that demonstrates how it fails (as I was never completely sure that it was foolproof).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
