Re^3: Standard way for displaying a script's output.

Except that it's legitimate to store data after any __DATA__; even after __END__ in main.

So what? Don't forget the audience isn't brainless computers, but humans. I believe that most readers of Perlmonks are smarter than the average houseplant, and don't have trouble spotting the difference between a program that tries to be Miss Smartypants by reading data after an __END__ token, and a program that has its output after an __END__.

Yes, but the point might have been you cannot mix both input and output in this way.	[reply]

Sure you can, that is why each code tags section gets its own download link `my $data = <<'<<DATA'; Dont you put me after __DATA__ you human <<DATA open my($fh), '<', \$data; while(<$fh>){ print length, "\n"; } __END__` [download] `42` [download] besides, when human copy/paste, human edit :)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
