NAME

Perl::ToPerl6::Transformer::BasicTypes::Strings::RewriteHereDocs - Format <<EOF constructs correctly

AFFILIATION

This Transformer is part of the core Perl::ToPerl6 distribution.

DESCRIPTION

Perl6 heredocs now no longer need to be quoted, and the indentation rules differ from perl5. Specifically the old workaround of <<' EOF' will have surprising results, because your entire heredoc will be indented by the whitespace amount:

  <<EOF; --> q:to/EOF/;
  EOF    --> EOF

  <<'  EOF'; --> q:to/EOF/;
    EOF      --> EOF

Transforms only heredocs, not POD or comments.

CONFIGURATION

This Transformer is not configurable except for the standard options.
