in reply to Re: Using the DATA file handle for ARGV
in thread Using the DATA file handle for ARGV

However, in this case, it looks like @ARGV and $ARGV are stripped of all magic by the manipulation (@DATA and $DATA ain't getting any magic neither). Can somebody explain what's happening there?

Why would there be "magic", and what would this "magic" do?
