Neat trick. The left alignment has always bugged me but I would think getting the spacing right a pain.

    Actually the spacing isn't that much of an issue if you use tabs in your text editor to handle that. :)

    i've recently started assigning blocks of text/html to variables like so:
    my $chunk = qq{ <b>Blah!</b><br><br> <i>Blah?</i> <u>Blah...</u> };
    then i just print it.. the reason i started doing this as opposed to using heredocs is the pretty formatting; i strip out the tabs used to indent with a regex before printing.

    as a side note, this seems to render pages MUCH faster than using heredocs. :)
