----- It did exactly what you asked it to do (for that version of P). It printed the 1st line of the DATA stream in the P file -- which is supposed to be a short demo/self-test. However, the current version won't do that since I don't try to print from file handles or globs, by default, anymore. I decided that wasn't like a helpful/safe thing to do by default (not really needed in debugging). I implemented an OO switch-passing mechanism for some of less standard options -- requiring an OO-style call when "implicit_io" is wanted. Very much appreciate the reports -- otherwise I'd have "no clue". Your execution issues are especially interesting! FWIW, I got behind in sending updates to CPAN, as my local development got ahead of my testing & documentation... (hmmmm...bet you never heard of that happening before)...

In progress version doesn't try to do IO on GLOB or IO handles, by default, and will produce: Current output: perl -MP -we 'use strict; P "%s", [1, \*DATA, 2]; ' Name "main::DATA" used only once: possible typo at -e line 2. [1, <*=* :GLOB(0xe705b0)*>, 2]
