Re^2: Converting code to use DATA filehandle instead of external templates

in thread resolved: Converting code to use DATA filehandle instead of external templates

First of all, the DATA filehandle begins after the __DATA__ token, not __END__

That's not always correct. perldoc perldata says:

__END__ behaves like __DATA__ in the toplevel script (but
not in files loaded with "require" or "do") and leaves the
remaining contents of the file accessible via "main::DATA".

$ cat data_eq_end.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

print for <DATA>;

__END__

$ perl data_eq_end.pl
