This appears to work. We use the DATA filehandle so need no permission as
Perl opens this for us.
seek DATA,-6,1; # back up into __DATA__ string
binmode DATA;
$end = <DATA>;
$end =~ s/.*__//; # delete everything except the line ending
for(split//,$end){printf "0x%x\n",ord $_}
__DATA__
# prints (on Win32)
0xd
0xa
Make sure there is a \n after the __DATA__
Does this port?
This also works as you would expect:
my $tmp = 'c:/tmp.tmp';
open TMP, "+>$tmp" or die $!;
print TMP "\n";
seek TMP, 0, 0;
binmode TMP;
for(split//,<TMP>){printf "0x%x\n",ord $_}
close TMP;
unlink $tmp;
__END__
#prints (on Win32)
0xd
0xa

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
