You could try putting "package Xmas;" on the line before __DATA__ - seems to work for changing which package the DATA filehandle appears in.

Of course, the other admonition is to not have multiple packages in a single file - it confuses us mere mortals when convention is broken like that. ;-)

    I dunno about *convention* (lots of modules do it, and very convenient for protoyping/writing demonstration code) but is against TheDamian's best practices.
