=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitSpecialLiteralHeredocTerminator - Don't write C< print <<'__END__' >.


=head1 AFFILIATION

This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic|Perl::Critic>
distribution.


=head1 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:

=over

=item __END__

=item __DATA__

=item __PACKAGE__

=item __FILE__

=item __LINE__

=back


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
