In perl it's a heredoc.
You use << instead of <<<, and you need to specify EXACTLY what you put AFTER the << as the terminator.
So, in the example you posted, you would put $foo=<<EOD ... EOD;
You can't have spaces before the EOD; terminator unless the same number of spaces also follows the <<.

I'm looking for the perl equivalent of a heredoc declaration. For some reason I can't recall how. In php it would work like this:
$foo = <<< EOD
Stuff stuff stuff
EOD;
I need to declare a several line string in a quick and easy fashion. Any ideas?
