`-------------------------------------------------
Actually there are only three. FH, tell(FH)-2, and 0. If you use 2
for the WHENCE value you can use negative values for the position to
seek to a position relative to the end of the file.
You might try Programming Perl or the Cookbook for more info on
using seek().
