I may be wrong but I'm guessing from the backslashes in your heredoc that you want $data to contain a single-line string. I don't think what you have written will achieve that. Single quotes result in literal backslashes along with the newlines in the string and double quotes don't seem to escape the meaning of the newline. Doing a global substitution is one way of getting a single line. Consider the following code

use strict; use warnings; my $rcSep = sub { return q{*} x 20 . qq{\n} }; print $rcSep->(); my $singleQuoted = <<'EOD'; Line 1\ Line 2\ Line 3 EOD print $singleQuoted, $rcSep->(); my $doubleQuoted = <<"EOD"; Line 1\ Line 2\ Line 3 EOD print $doubleQuoted, $rcSep->(); ( my $transformed = <<'EOD' ) =~ s{\n+(?!\z)}{ }g; Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 EOD print $transformed, $rcSep->();

and its output

******************** Line 1\ Line 2\ Line 3 ******************** Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 ******************** Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 ********************

I hope this is of interest.

Cheers,

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
