This solution looks good to me. However, I also wonder whether it would be
more transparent if the `smashing' code were to know about here documents
and test files? Blank lines in such strings could be left untouched.
On the other hand teaching perl so much about shell quoting is probably a
total nightmare, but I figured I should toss the idea out incase it sticks :-)
Cheers,
Gary.
