Re^3: 'perl -e' and '__DATA_

STDIN is already used for the script and so I can't pipe other content in

I'm probably misunderstanding something but

$ cat cccc
zzz
999
$ cat cccc | perl -e '
> print <<'EOT';
> abc
> 123
> EOT
> print while <>;'
abc
123
zzz
999
$
[download]

I can read from STDIN here. Have I got the wrong end of the stick?

Cheers,

JohnGG

That's exactly what I needed with additional __DATA__. Now replace -e with <<< or with the <<'EOT' proposed and you'll see what I meant. `s$$([},&%#}/&/]+}%&{});#$&&s&&$^X.($'^"%]=\&(\|?{%` `+`.+=%;.#_}\&"^"-+%*).}%:##%}={~=~:.")&e&&s""`$''`"e	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I don't get it. Are you saying that there's still a problem here? I think it's been made clear that `__DATA__` isn't available from a `-e` script and why. If you need some extra data, just store it in a scalar or an array and use that (why bother with reading another filehandle?). duff	[reply] [d/l] [select]

okay then... Just again in slow motion... My script is part of an AppleScript. The perl script needs: STDIN or Filenames given on Commandline, read with the magic <> __DATA__ Why _DATA__? Because I want to feed it some stuff whose content I don't know. DATA is a quite safe way for doing it, because I don't need to worry about any "dangerous" characters in it. Now I use a variable assignment, but i must make sure that the END marker isn't used in the data I want to store. So is there a problem? Yes, but not a big one. `s$$([},&%#}/&/]+}%&{});#$&&s&&$^X.($'^"%]=\&(\|?{%` `+`.+=%;.#_}\&"^"-+%*).}%:##%}={~=~:.")&e&&s""`$''`"e	[reply] [d/l] [select]
