Is $heredoc = «END; the same as $heredoc = <<END; ?
   

I certainly hope not.
Quoting the delimiter is needed, by the way.
How is <<'END' disambiguated from <<'qw' list>>, anyway?
 

Seeing the « in the context of a here-doc made me think "can you do a 
»<< here-doc?"

So, something like :
@text = »<<END;
text1
END
text2
END
text3
END
text4
END
for @text { ...}

The hard question about this is: how do you know when you've hit the 
last END? especially if the text you're loading looks like Perl code, or 
if you have different <<END later in your code?

btw, should it be »<<, <<«, or »<<«?
