Hi all,
A have a chunk of perl code something like this.
# insert bunch of code here
my $msg <<EndOfMessage;
%%MESSAGE%%
EndOfMessage
# more code goes here
Then I have a multi-line (printable characters only) ASCII
text file containing the message that I'd like to replace
for %%MESSAGE%%. [1] Anyone have a neat little trick in
their bag-o-magic? I know the answer should be really
obvious but everything I've tried thus either hasn't worked
or was too convoluted.
TIA.

[1] The code is something that I wrote and the content of
the message is being written by someone else. I'd really
like to keep their hands out of the code if at all
possible.
