(Ovid - seek)Re: Closing and re-opening the DATA Filehandleby Ovid (Cardinal) |

Rather than opening and closing the file, how about opening it once and using seek DATA, 0, 0 to reposition yourself at the start of __DATA__? Anyone see a problem with this approach?
Cheers, Update: Oops. I keep forgetting that __DATA__ doesn't behave like a normal filehandle. See tye's answer below. Join the Perlmonks Setiathome Group or just click on the the link and check out our stats.
