The here string (<<END stuff END) will correctly handle indents in Perl
6 (or so it is said), but Perl 5 does not do the Right Thing(tm). For
cases like this I tend to write code that looks like this:
elsif ($string == 1) {
$string =
"this is the first line\n" .
"this is the second line\n" .
"etc.\n";
}
