NAME
       Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::RequireUpperCaseHeredocTerminator
       - Write " <<'THE_END'; " instead of " <<'theEnd'; ".

AFFILIATION
       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION
       For legibility, HEREDOC terminators should be all UPPER CASE letters
       (and numbers), without any whitespace.  Conway also recommends using a
       standard prefix like "END_" but this policy doesn't enforce that.

         print <<'the End';  #not ok
         Hello World
         the End

         print <<'THE_END';  #ok
         Hello World
         THE_END

CONFIGURATION
       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
