Still another approach, one that I prefer:

print join(" ", "Here's a long line blah blah",
                "blah that I would like broken up\n" );

This has a modest performance penalty over the original version (the join()) but has the distinct advantage of being nicely formattable by syntax editors (such as XEmacs, which I use).

The same technique can be used to coalesce a series of separate print statements into one, which is how I use it mostly, to erduce the number of calls to print(), on the theory that IO statements are more expensive than memory-based ones (particularly when autoflush in enabled, e.g., $|=1, as is often the case with CGI scripts).

print join("\n", "This is line 1",
                 "This is line 2",
                 "This is line 3",
                 # etc.
                 "This is line n"), "\n";
