in thread Difficulty with UTF-8 and file contents

Thanks. I should have posted that part separately, it's only secondary to the main question.

I have seen perldoc SelfLoader and the perldata manual page too. They are rather abstract and I don't quite get how to use the __DATA__ token in the context above. Is there a concrete example somewhere of how to use the main::DATA file handle with the 3-part open() function?
