I've implemented a prototype of the indented here-doc tag I'm proposing.
http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/src/RFC-Prototype-0.02.tar.gz
Its RFC::Prototype::111, which is probably the wrong number.
I'll have to add <<POD =~ s/// syntax. Also, if anyone's good with
filters I couldn't quite get the prototype working with
Filter::Util::Call. I found myself needing to work line-by-line, and
that whole "build up $_" was getting in my way, so I switched to
Filter::Util::Exec and it works, but it makes debugging really hard.
=head1 NAME
RFC::Prototype::111 - Implements Perl 6 RFC 111
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use RFC::Prototype::111;
if( $is_fitting && $is_just ) {
die <<"POEM";
The old lie
Dulce et decorum est
pro patria mori
POEM
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Two changes.
1. Allows POD end tags to be indented. The amount of space a tag is
indented is the amount which will be clipped off of each line of
the here-doc. Tabs will B<NOT> be expanded.
2. POD end tags may now be followed by trailing whitespace
