yeah, I agree, the apoc-doc also didn't give any reason as to why this was
happening. I'd think that the automagic going along with FH, ie:
while ($line = FH)
{
}
would generalize quite easily into
print <<EOF;
EOF
Anyways, my one curiosity that sticks out would be: why \Q as being a way to
disambiguate? You could do the same thing with:
print "$foo\[1]\n"
vs
print "$foo[1]\n";
