SPUG: Filter::Simple by J.P. tomorrow too

[Tim Maher]

	--->SPUG alert<---

"El JoPe Magnifico" <jope at jope.net>, otherwise known as JP, has
volunteered to talk about the use of the Damianiacal "Filter::Simple"
module to allow indentation within Here-Documents (as in the Korn and
Bash shells).

As JP himself puts it:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 
	Normal Perl here-doc syntax is like this:

	  ## Consider this column 0.
	      ## Consider this the current indentation level.
	      do_something();
	      print <<END_MARKER;
	  some text
	  END_MARKER
	      do_something_else();

The here'd text and end-marker breaks up code indentation.

In bash, however, you can prepend a hyphen to your end-marker,
to indicate that leading tabs should be stripped from following
lines up to and including the end-marker, e.g.:

	  do_something
	  cat - <<-END_MARKER
	      some text
	      END_MARKER
	  do_something_else

This allows you to maintain proper indentation.  My talk will be an
attempt to grok this same behavior with Filter::Simple.  Which in fact,
may not be possible, but along the way to discovering this, much is
illustrated.  =)

There's still room for additional talks on tomorrow's agenda, so let me
know if YOU (yes *you*, you chronic Lurker you) are willing to share your
knowledge with your fellow SPUGsters.
