as you can see, i'm right with Dave on this. another vote +1.

as for all the here document functionality that Hal pointed out, as he says 
himself, he dosen't use it. and i doubt anyone does. it's simply too 
confusing. but GIVE ME THE ABOVE AND IT WILL BE ALL I USE! currently i 
generally just use %Q{...} instead of here docs.

p %Q{
  foo
    bar
}

which makes me think of this possibility:

p %| foo
      |   bar
