Rakudo completely ignores initial empty lines at the beginning of heredocs: $ cat heredoc-example print q:to/EOF/; abc EOF print q:to/EOF/; abc EOF print q:to/EOF/; abc EOF $ perl6 heredoc-example abc abc abc If this is to spec, I find nothing in the spec to support it. More to the point, Perl 5 *doesn't* ignore initial empty lines in heredocs: $ cat heredoc-example-perl5 print <<'EOF'; abc EOF print <<'EOF'; abc EOF print <<'EOF'; abc EOF $ perl heredoc-example-perl5 abc abc abc
