I hate to take a snippy attitude, but:

  $a = "four";
  print << "three $a";
  one two
  three four

  one two
  three $a 

  print $a;

  __END__

  one two
  three four

  one two
  four

Perhaps you were thinking I did:

  print << FOO;

by mistake.  No, there can be spaces or tabs after the << if the
identifier is placed in quotes. :)

Here-docs need better documentation.
