in thread How can I tell if a string contains binary data or plain-old text?

Odd, really. It works with a regular file, but not with an in-memory file... Bug?

$ perl -e '$a="abc"x500;open A,"<",\$a;$x=-T(A); print +(defined($x)?$
+x?"text":"bin":"undef"),$/;close A'
undef
$ perl -e '$a="abc";open A,"<","/tmp/index.html";$x=-T(A); print +(def
+ined($x)?$x?"text":"bin":"undef"),$/;close A'
text
