Formatting with the Here Document - PerlIn our last article we introduced you to using text in Perl. By the time we were done, there was text everywhere. But that's okay. In this tutorial we will learn to clean that text up and put it in its place. So roll up those sleeves and prepare to get organized. No more sloppy text for you!

Another benefit to the here document is the ability to format your text and have it appear exactly as you typed it in. Here is a poem that we will display using the here document: #!/usr/bin/perl $twain= <<'Poem'; Warm summer sun, Shine kindly here, Warm southern wind, Blow softly here. Green sod above, Lie light, lie light. Good night, dear heart, Good night, good night. Poem print $twain; This will display Twain's poem like so: Warm summer sun, Shine kindly here. Warm southern wind, Blow softly here. Green sod above, Lie light, lie light. Good night, dear heart, Good night, good night.
