There are a good few ways to create multiline
text strings in perl.
};
$s =<<EOSTR;
One of them is called the "here doc" (lifted from various UNIX shells).
A 'here doc' is the <<tag construct.  Perl continues to treat
all the text found as part of the string until there's a line containing
the EOSTR tag at the beginning
