Re: [perl #34258] [TODO] Here documents for PIR

[Will Coleda]

This is *great* and I've already started converting partcl to take  
advantage.

One problem I've discovered:
  operators["<<"] = OPERATOR_SHL

This is probably because:

<*>"<<"{STRINGCONSTANT} {

Is too permissive. Can we perhaps just allow {ID}s ?

Thanks again! This is great! Woo!

Hi,

After a show of demand for here docs on IRC (and leo's approval), I've
now modified to lexer to support them. The syntax for introducing a
heredoc is <<"XXX", and it ends on the line containing (only) XXX. For
example:-

$ cat example.pir
.sub _main
    $S0 = <<"quotage"
Blah blah
Oh happy days...
I love my pink highlighter pen...
quotage
    print $S0
.end
$ parrot example.pir
Blah blah
Oh happy days...
I love my pink highlighter pen...
$

Have fun,
