Nice trick,

But it has several drawbacks:

I do not want to use HERE DOCUMENT syntax because it breaks my line
indention scheme (leading spaces become part of the output!)

#=pod and #=cut is too much to type and looks ugly.

I could accept:

pq(qq(»
  here comes data: "blubb" $variable
     ... and some
     more lines
   until
«));

But when I tried in perl.sl :

define_syntax("»", "«", '%', "perl");

it has no effect, because one can define only once the multi line
comment type.
