Re^4: Introsepcting the current Perl file via DATA, even w/o DATA?

To clarify, the source filter thing should work, and maybe there is a way to make the file to stick around after BEGIN (without __DATA__), but in my opinion that's a bit too obscure and I don't see anything particularly complex or performance-intensive in just opening it again... but YMMV.

I think it's the only way, and a quick `open` if done at the right time, won't penalize the objective. Update: What you've shown here is very intriguing. Why are you Anonymonk?	[reply] [d/l]

Why are you Anonymonk? Well, considering that this is the only forum that I post on... I guess if I had to register, I wouldn't bother...	[reply]
