Even with all of that clever work, go ahead a 'shift' any of those blocks of code over and watch your heredoc break. Your heredocs above break indentation (your terminators aren't indented). And (re)indentation breaks your heredocs.

Perhaps worse, trailing whitespace can break a Perl heredoc. Plenty of reason to avoid using them in code I plan to maintain.
