in reply to How to make an ascii flower variable

Here's my interpretation of your question: 
use warnings;
use strict;

my $var = '

 ######  #        ####   #    #  ######  #####  
 #       #       #    #  #    #  #       #    # 
 #####   #       #    #  #    #  #####   #    # 
 #       #       #    #  # ## #  #       #####  
 #       #       #    #  ##  ##  #       #   #  
 #       ######   ####   #    #  ######  #    # 

';

print $var;
