Unless, of course, the user opened <DATA> first! :-)

Perverse example:

C:\>perl
print "Hello, sailor!\n";
__END__
Hello, sailor!

C:\>perl
while (<DATA>) {print "Data> $_"}
__END__
The bustard's a genial fowl
Data> The bustard's a genial fowl

How fitting.  The perl executible is as lazy as the programmers who love it so much!
