I've been using the practice of putting something at the bottom of a
file for holding static data, like SQL, by calling a __DATA__ handle:
my $sql = join('',(<DATA>));
#more efficient
my $sql = do { local $/; <DATA> };
check perldoc perlvar if you want to know more about $/
__DATA__
select .....
Is there any way to do this twice?
To define two sets of static SQL?
I guess that you don't really want to read two times from <DATA> but to
somehow separate text below __DATA__
(undef, my %static_sql)
= split /#(\w+)\s+/, do { local $/; <DATA> };
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper \%static_sql
__DATA__
#select1
select * from table1 ..
#select2
select * from table2 ..
