hi,

i'm using the example from man perlop for here docs with indentation
i'm using vim syntax with "set list" and "set number lines"

    1 ^I(my $quote =<<'^IFINIS') =~ s/^\s+//gm;$
    2 ^IThe Road goes ever on and on,$
    3 $
    4 ^I$
    5 ^Idown from the door where it began.$
    6 ^IFINIS$

why does s/^\s+//gm kill the "empty" lines 3 and 4, whereas
s/^\t+//gm does not?


That's because \s also matches \n (and \r).
