I believe Larry said this idea is in:
my $javascriptCode = <<CODE;
<script>
function blah()
if ( ) ...
};
</script>
CODE
(Your example faithfully preserved.)
The indentation of the CODE terminator is how much whitespace is
stripped from each line of the here-doc string.

Here-docs have no leading newline, so that's not a problem. And it's
fairly trivial to just chomp(). In fact, you can do this:
chomp( my $code = <<CODE );
...stuff...
CODE
Trying to wedge some sort of special syntax into here-docs to do this
probably isn't worth the trouble.

Now people age and die, that's why people want children because children is
supposed to take care elders when they grow up. But in future, people don't
age. Then children become hindrance instead of liking. Then people will stop
having children.
