+    A workaround is to put the here-doc in a temporary string and then do
+    the substitution:
+
+            my $text="Hello World!\n";
+            my $str=<<'END';
+            Goodbye

+  The --extrude option can occasionally produce code with syntax errors
+    The --extrude tries to put as many newlines in the formatted code as
+    possible. This option is of limited use for formatting, but it has been
+    helpful for debugging purposes. 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. For example,
+    --extrude will currently cause a syntax error in the following line:
+
+     utime $inc+0 ? ($mtime, $ntime) : ($atime, $atime), $file;
