Package: perl-doc
Version: 5.28.1-1
Severity: normal
perlfaq4 has a question "Why don't my <<HERE documents work?", and much
of the answer deals with ways to write indented here documents. These
are largely kludges, however, and the faq should really mention the ~
modifier (desribed in perlop), which was introduced precisely in order
to provide a clean way to do this.
