in reply to 'seek' on a FileHandle.pm object

I would look into using getpos() and setpos() for doing what you want.

From the docs: 
If the C functions fgetpos() and fsetpos() are available, 
then `FileHandle::getpos' returns an opaque value that
represents the current position of the FileHandle, and 
`FileHandle::setpos' uses that value to return to a 
previously visited position.
