+// ------------------
+// The here-doc modifier "~" allows you to indent your here-docs to
+// make the code more readable.
+// The delimiter is used to determine the exact whitespace to remove
+// from the beginning of each line. All lines must have at least the
+// same starting whitespace (except lines only containing a newline)
+// or perl will croak. Tabs and spaces can be mixed, but are matched
+// exactly. One tab will not be equal to 8 spaces!
+// Additional beginning whitespace (beyond what preceded the
