#DESCRIPTION

Using one of Perl's special literals as a HEREDOC terminator could be confusing to tools that try to parse perl.

print <<'__END__';           #not ok
Hello world
__END__

print <<'__END_OF_WORLD__';  #ok
Goodbye world!
__END_OF_WORLD__

The special literals that this policy prohibits are:

#__END__
#__DATA__
#__PACKAGE__
#__FILE__
#__LINE__

#CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
