Hi All,

I would like to read and process line by line (using while) some text
embeded into my perl script. 
I tried something like:

#/usr/sbin/perl

open(D, "__DATA__");
while(<D>){
        print $_;
        }
close(D);
__DATA__
This is a test
and nothing else
############

the execution of the program should give:
This is a test
and nothing else


This example does not work, but I know that there is something like that
in perl, and it will be great if someone point me the right way to do
this. By the way, I am familiar with the print<<END; anything
END
but this is not what I want. Thanks in advance for any positive
response.

cheers
