in thread __DATA__ read/write as configuration file

Thanks Randal. It's an extra module though, and i want to deploy it on some desktops at work without adding modules if possible. Is it at all possible with __DATA__ ?

    Not without evil and hackery. Unless you're up to source-code rewriting this avenue isn't open to you. Now if it is... I'll tell you a story or two that'll get you going in the right direction.

    Puuuuhhhlease. Not the "it's a module" argument again. It's pure Perl... just copy it into your distro. Or use PAR. Or look at the source code and cannibalize the parts you need.

    But pllllllleeeease let's stop with the "I can't use this because it's a module instead of some idea about code" whining.

      Puuuuhhhlease. Not the "people are ignorant" reaction again. No one can see your face and see how annoyed you are. That's good, and there's no reason to put it to print. If you have a problem, just write the problem and don't make a charade. How many times have you told aquarium about this? It's OK to say "Sure you can, that's no problem. Take a look at this document that explains how and why."

      But pllllllleeeease let's stop with the "I've told hundreds of users about this, so you too should know" whining.
