Hello, I usually use the following code to print paragraphs, and it works just fine: 
print <<OUTPUT;
Today is Monday, my favorite day of the week.  It is my favorite day b
+ecause Jerry said "Monday is the best day of the week".  Tuesday is m
+y second-favorite day.  Why can't all days be as great as Monday?  Wh
+o knows.
OUTPUT

However, let's say I want to print out code from within an if statement: 
if($today eq 'Monday')
{
print <<OUTPUT;
Today is Monday, my favorite day of the week.  It is my favorite day b
+ecause Jerry said "Monday is the best day of the week".  Tuesday is m
+y second-favorite day.  Why can't all days be as great as Monday?  Wh
+o knows.
OUTPUT
}

The only issue is that I cannot indent all of the code within the curly brackets because then Perl doesn't see the last OUTPUT.

What would be the best way to print out paragraphs of text in such a way that they could be indented within the code?

Thank you so much for your help.
