No, to my knowledge, even PHP3 (I honestly don't remember if it was in
PHP/FI, but I don't think so) allowed you to use the same name for multiple
heredoc's. It just works like the for/next concept in BASIC.... for this =
this to that (do something), next this. Meaning that as soon as the
condition is met (this = that), release this.
And as far as I know, Perl is the same, as are any other languages where
heredoc syntax is present.
That's kind of dumbing it down to the point of changing it, perhaps, but
I hope I'm at least speaking English.
