yes, but shouldn't that append file name and line number where the warn or die statement is, e.g. "example.pl line 2", but definitely not "<DATA> line 290"...	[reply]

I have problems understanding your problem. you said in the OP > I don't want to have my scripts mention that someone else's `__DATA__` is opened on some line urelated So either the warn is for an end-user, then hide all coordinates by appending "\n" Or it's for you, then ignore the DATA part. This might be a little irritating, but IMHO it's a not too tragic side-effect of Perl trying to be explicit.
