Bug #124398 for Sys-RunAlone: Package name not checked

Sun Feb 11 23:25:33 2018 boftx [...] hotmail.com - Ticket created

Subject:	Package name not checked
Date:	Mon, 12 Feb 2018 04:25:23 +0000
To:	"bug-Sys-RunAlone [...] rt.cpan.org" <bug-Sys-RunAlone [...] rt.cpan.org>
From:	Jim Bacon <boftx [...] hotmail.com>

Although I find this module to be very handy, it only woks correctly if either a) the script does not have a package name other than “main” (default namespace) or the __END__ tag is used. This is because the __TAG__ is always in the “main” namespace regardless of a different package name being used, or the __DATA__ tag is in the “main” namespace. If a script uses __DATA__ but has its own namespace, which is usually the case with a modulino, then because the glob handle is hard-coded as “main::DATA” the test for existence via “tell” will always fail.
