Re: Formatting Strings Without Interpolating Whitespace

You could use a here-doc, like this:

my $msg_body_2 = <<"EOT";

line 5
line 6
line7a\tline7b
line8 

EOT

or you could split the string in to segments spread over multiple lines and concatenate them together:

my $msg_body_2 = 
    "\n\n" .
    "line 5\n" .
    "line 6\n" .
    "line 7a\tline7b\n" .
    "line 8\n" .
    "\n\n";

The concatenation option is the simplest and easiest for me to work in now. I'll try to fiddle with some of the other options later, but for now this works perfect. Thanks for the tip kejohm. I didn't realize you could space concatenation operators across multiple lines.
