Summary : Automatic function loader (using __DATA__)
|
Description :
This module tells its users that functions in the FOOBAR package are to be autoloaded from after the \'__DATA__\' token. See also the perlsub/\"Autoloading\" manpage.
The __DATA__ token The \'__DATA__\' token tells the perl compiler that the perl code for compilation is finished. Everything after the \'__DATA__\' token is available for reading via the filehandle FOOBAR::DATA, where FOOBAR is the name of the current package when the \'__DATA__\' token is reached. This works just the same as \'__END__\' does in package \'main\', but for other modules data after \'__END__\' is not automatically retrievable, whereas data after \'__DATA__\' is. The \'__DATA__\' token is not recognized in versions of perl prior to 5.001m.
Note that it is possible to have \'__DATA__\' tokens in the same package in multiple files, and that the last \'__DATA__\' token in a given package that is encountered by the compiler is the one accessible by the filehandle. This also applies to \'__END__\' and main, i.e. if the \'main\' program has an \'__END__\', but a module \'require\'d (_not_ \'use\'d) by that program has a \'package main;\' declaration followed by an \'\'__DATA__\'\', then the \'DATA\' filehandle is set to access the data after the \'__DATA__\' in the module, _not_ the data after the \'__END__\' token in the \'main\' program, since the compiler encounters the \'require\'d file later.
