I too much prefer using qq instead of heredoc because of line
> ## indentation
I didn't like heredocs either because of the dumb TOKEN that had to break my
beautiful indentations.  Then I saw someone do this:
    my $sql = <<"";


Then all you need is a blank line after your SQL statement and your
indentations remain unmolested.
{
    {
        {
            my $sql = <<'';
                SELECT foo
                  FROM bar

        }
    }
}
