Use concatenation or HEREDOCs instead. my $foo = "Line one is quite long Line two"; # Bad my $foo = "Line one is quite long\nLine two"; # Better, but still hard to read my $foo = "Line one is quite long\n" . "Line two"; # Better still my $foo = <<'EOF'; # Use heredoc for longer passages Line one is quite long Line two Line three breaks the camel's back EOF =head1 CONFIGURATION This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options. =head1 AUTHOR Chris Dolan =head1 CREDITS Initial development of this policy was supported by a grant from the Perl Foundation. =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2007-2011 Chris Dolan.
