Sometimes you want to run your own initialization code before a program starts running (or even compiling). Real-world example: BEGIN { $DB::deep = 1000; }

There is a way to do this without modifying the program or installing new modules (it involves exploiting a code injection bug in PerlIO). This talk explains how it all works.
