in thread Why do here-docs have to end with a newline, not EOF?
If the terminating identifier is on the last line of the program, you must be sure there is a newline after it...but if there's a newline, then it isn't the last line, is it? Something of a documentation bug there. It would be better expressed as "the terminating identifier isn't allowed to be the last line".
Nobody says perl looks like line-noise any more
kids today don't know what line-noise IS ...
