Read http://perldoc.perl.org/perldata.html#Special-Literals, and Super Search for `__DATA__` to find more details. In short, you add `__DATA__` as a line by itself at the end of your script, and everything after that in your script is treated as a special file which you can access through the handle `DATA`; like `STDIN` and `STDOUT`, it's already available, and you don't even have to `open(DATA, ...)` yourself. To get it to do what you want (maintain the distinct CR and LF from the Win32 EOL), you will need to `binmode DATA;` before you read from the `DATA` filehandle, just like you would if it were an external file. `__DATA__` is pretty cool. Make sure you read up on it -- there are lots of cool `__DATA__` tricks lurking in the Monastery.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

He already got a sample for `__DATA__` in his reddit crosspost ... :/ Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply] [d/l]
