Perl Text: Quoting Without Quote Marks - Formatting with the Here Document (Page 3 of 4 ) 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.
