Hmm... The HERE-document and the multiline with backslashes are not 
interchangeble.

With the HERE-document you introduce newlines and indentations into the 
strings.

With multiline you simply break up a longish string for readability.

So I'd still like to have both.

Let me give you an example.

For my current plugin I need to provide to the script an LQL command 
sequence (see http://mathias-kettner.de/checkmk_livestatus.html for an 
explanation).

So I need to provide something like this:
GET services
Filter: description = my service
Filter: host_custom_variables = _COUNTRY DE
Filter: scheduled_downtime_depth = 0
Filter: host_scheduled_downtime_depth = 0
Stats: state = 0
Stats: state = 1
Stats: state = 2
Stats: state > 2


I "solved" this by introducing an option command and putting into extra-opt:

command=GET services
command=Filter: description = my service
command=Filter: host_custom_variables = _COUNTRY DE
command=Filter: scheduled_downtime_depth = 0
command=Filter: host_scheduled_downtime_depth = 0
command=Stats: state = 0
command=Stats: state = 1
command=Stats: state = 2
command=Stats: state > 2

While this is feasible, I'd still prefer the way it can be done in 
Config::General (a module I know for some time now)

commands=<<END
GET services
Filter: description = my service
Filter: host_custom_variables = _COUNTRY DE
Filter: scheduled_downtime_depth = 0
Filter: host_scheduled_downtime_depth = 0
Stats: state = 0
Stats: state = 1
Stats: state = 2
Stats: state > 2
END
