LanceDeeply has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I know this code:
slurps the __DATA__ section into my scalar $data, but what is perl doing in that do loop?my $data = do { local $/; <DATA> };
what's happenning in there?my $data = do { local $/; # localize RS? <DATA> # evaluate <DATA> in scalar context ? }
