DATA is a plain, ordinary file handle to the source file, but it's open for reading (not writing). I don't know how to convert a handle opened for reading into a handle opened for writing (if it's even possible), but you can open a new handle to the current file, and use tell(DATA) to find the location of the start of the data.
die("Not safe for setuid") if ${^TAINT};
open(my $fh, ">>", __FILE__)
or die("open: $!\n");
( my $data_pos = tell(DATA) ) >= 0
or die("tell: $!\n");
truncate($fh, $data_pos)
or die("truncate: $!\n");
say($fh "bar")
or die("say: $!\n");
__DATA__
foo

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).
