Re^2: Do I need/want to close __DATA_

in thread Do I need/want to close __DATA__?

Here is what happens when 2 separate packages leave their DATA opened. warn reports only the last one being opened. Is it because the interpreter will detect opened DATA and localise it?

As I said, the interpreter simply internally keeps track of the most recently accessed filehandle; "localise" is the wrong term here IMHO because it sounds like you mean something to do with local.

Yes I meant to make DATA `local` just because I did not see it being reported in `warn` . But as you said `warn` reports only the most recently accessed filehandle, and of course both DATA are opened, just not both reported by warn.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
