Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Is there a passably elegant way to persuade a Perl here document to repeat lines, e.g. under control of an external foreach?

I'm trying to generate a sequence of routing commands like

ip rule add fwmark 0x0201/0xffff table 201 ip rule add fwmark 0x0200/0xffff table 200 ip route add default via 172.27.201.1 dev eth1.201 table 201 ip route add default via 172.27.200.1 dev eth1.200 table 200

and while putting them in a here document is by far the most readable approach it would be a great improvement if the repeated lines- where the count might vary- could be generated on the fly.
