Does Perl have the equivalent of Python's multiline strings?

multiline, perl

Solution

Perl doesn't have significant syntactical vertical whitespace, so you can just do

$foo = "line1
line2
line3
";

which is equivalent to

$foo = "line1\nline2\nline3\n";

Problem

In Python you can have a multiline string like this using a docstring ``` foo = """line1 line2 line3""" ``` Is there something equivalent in Perl?
