in reply to Re^3: Perl stops reading __DATA__ when meeting SUB character on Windows (history)
in thread Perl stops reading __DATA__ when meeting SUB character on Windows

Part of the puzzle might be p5git://commit=9b1f1815, which became part of v5.14.

The OP is using binmode. That should never stop at ^Z!

So if Perl hits EOF due to CTRL-Z (while reading source code), then subsequently doing binmode will clear that EOF condition?
