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:
__END__
__DATA__
__PACKAGE__
__FILE__
__LINE__

CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
