Thank you! This link was very helpful and it provided a link to -- I think -- a solid description explaining this behavior <https://perldoc.perl.org/SelfLoader.html#The-__DATA__-token>.
but for other modules data after __END__ <https://perldoc.perl.org/functions/__END__.html> is not automatically retrievable @mojocore: What do you think about adding this tip to one or both of these sections? Mojo::Loader#data_section Extract embedded file from the C<DATA> section of a class, all files will be cached once they have been accessed for the first time. *C<DATA> sections inclasses other than C<main> should be placed before C<END> sections.* Mojolicious::Guides##Renderer All templates should be in the C<templates> directories of the application, which can be customized with L<Mojolicious::Renderer/"paths">, or one of the the C<DATA> sections from L<Mojolicious::Renderer/"classes">. *C<DATA> sectionsin classes other than C<main> should be placed before C<END> sections.* Here's a Perl test demonstrating this behavior: $ cat end_data.t package EndData; use Test::More; { local $.; my $class = __PACKAGE__; my $handle = do { no strict 'refs'; \*{"${class}::DATA"} }; my $fileno = ok !fileno($handle); SKIP: { skip "DATA filehandle could not be opened", 2 if $fileno; ok seek($handle, 0, 0); like join('', <$handle>), qr(__END__.*?__DATA__); } } done_testing; __END__ abc __DATA__ def $ cat data_end.t package DataEnd; use Test::More; { local $.; my $class = __PACKAGE__; my $handle = do { no strict 'refs'; \*{"${class}::DATA"} }; my $fileno = ok fileno($handle); SKIP: { skip "DATA filehandle could not be opened", 2 unless $fileno; ok seek($handle, 0, 0); like join('', <$handle>), qr(__END__.*?__DATA__); } } done_testing; __DATA__ def __END__ abc $ prove -v end_data.t data_end.t end_data.t .. ok 1 ok 2 # skip DATA filehandle could not be opened ok 3 # skip DATA filehandle could not be opened 1..3 ok data_end.t .. ok 1 ok 2 ok 3 1..3 ok All tests successful.
