MORE EXAMPLES

Usage with qs

Syntax::Feature::Qs adds qs and qqs that removes all leading whitespace from all lines in a string:

    # these three packages are equivalent:
    package Example::Stomp {

        use String::Stomp;
        use syntax 'qs';

        sub out {
            print stomp qs{
                This is
                a multi line

                string.
            };
        }
    }
    package Example::Q {

        sub out {
            print q{This is
    a multi line

    string.};
        }
    }
    package Example::HereDoc {

        sub out {

            (my $text = <<"            END") =~ s{^ {12}}{}gm;
                This is
                a multi line

                string.
                END

            $text =~ s{\v\z}{};
            print $text;
        }
    }
