I think skipping both is fine, but between the two I think having indenting is better than having a redundant \n some of the time. FWIW you could just add the variable on its own line, and then do this instead: (my $query = <<" END") =~ s/(?<=\n)\t*\n//s; To post-hoc fix the extra \n in this case :) But I think this is also fine as-is, thanks!
