Re: Re: slurping __DATA_

Thanks!

I did read perldoc perlvar but I didnt know that local $/; was undef-ing it for the do's block context. I'll have to go brush up on local, 'cause I never use it.

For the record, tye was the first one to show me that trick. (tye++ yet again) But .... please be careful with `local` - reserve its use for temporarily resetting Perl's built-in variables. Don't use it on, well, anything else. ;) Read Anti-snippet (or, "local" considered dangerous to fools") if you haven't already. And you are most welcome. :) jeffa L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L-- -R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B-- H---H---H---H---H---H--- (the triplet paradiddle with high-hat)	[reply]
