No they don't. BIND VARS neatly takes care of quoting issues: 
my $sth = $dbh->prepare('
   insert into foo(bar,baz)
   values (?,?)
');
$sth->execute($foo,$bar);

Here docs would clutter this. Syntax highlighters should treat here docs and strings the same, my gvim highlighter does ...

NOT! (update) Sorry, the gvim syntax highlighter tends to treat the characters inside a here document as perl code, while strings are one color except for interpolated variables and escaped characters. But anyhow...

Save yourself the carpel tunnel. ;)
