-  A here-doc invoked through an 'e' modifier on a pattern replacement text is not recognized
-    For example, the output of perltidy for this script has a syntax error:
-
-            my $text="Hello World!\n";
-            $text =~ s@Hello@<<'END'@e;
-            Goodbye 
-            Cruel
-            END
-            print "$text\n";
+  The --extrude option can produce code with syntax errors
+    The --extrude tries to put as many newlines in the formatted code as
+    possible. This option is very useful for testing perltidy but not for
+    actual formatting. Occasionally it will produce code which Perl
+    considers to have a syntax error. These problems usually involve code
+    where Perl is having to guess the tokenization based on whitespace.
+    Since the --extrude option is typically only used for testing perltidy,
+    this type of error should not normally occur in practice.
