People may throw rocks at me for this, but I'd like to suggest that
not only is a comment allowed on the terminator line, but a semicolon
also be allowed. Vis:

    print <<EOL;
    EOL;   # This should work, too

Yes, I know that it can be done as:

    print <<"EOL;";
    EOL;

but (imho) the prior example has high DWIM value, and is keeping with
the spirit of the RFC.

Just my two cents.
