Re^2: "Empty Stream" error as result of repeated reading of __DATA_

Thanks very much, gellyfish, that was just what I needed.

However, your code does produce a warning:

Argument "SEEK_SET" isn't numeric in seek at ./test.pl line 13, <DATA>
+ line 7.

on my system, which I don't understand, SEEK_SET being a constant after all. Do you know why this occurs?

Thanks again,

Er, no I don't know why this occurs - it is possible that you didn't `use Fcntl` and are not using `strict`. If you are worried by this you can use `0` instead but this is not guaranteed to be portable to all systems. /J\	[reply] [d/l] [select]
