The perl FAQ states:

               But the HERE_TARGET must still be flush against
               the margin.  If you want that indented also,
               you'll have to quote in the indentation.

                   ($quote = <<'    FINIS') =~ s/^\s+//gm;


but that isn't quite what you want.

There might be some way to do it using source filters, either
 Filter::Simple
or
 Filter::Util::Call

I bet the author of Filter::Simple could whip
something up, it he was still funded.....
