in thread Unexpected result using tell/seek within the __DATA__ file

I have used tell/seek lots of times to get back to the beginning of DATA and have never had a problem. This is the first time I have seen this and it only seems to be off when I seek within the DATA section. Then it is off by 1 per newline.

If what you are saying is true, shouldn't it be off regardless of the start of DATA?
