Neat trick. The left alignment has always bugged me but I would think getting the spacing right a pain.

Actually the spacing isn't that much of an issue if you use tabs in your text editor to handle that. :)

i've recently started assigning blocks of text/html to variables like so:


my $chunk = qq{
<b>Blah!</b><br><br>
<i>Blah?</i>
<u>Blah...</u>
};

then i just print it.. the reason i started doing this as opposed to using heredocs is the pretty formatting; i strip out the tabs used to indent with a regex before printing.

as a side note, this seems to render pages MUCH faster than using heredocs. :)
