A:
It marks the end of a here-doc section.
EOF is more traditional than ESQ though.

I think you mean EOD?

I often use `EOF`.

I commonly see many variations matching `/^EO[A-Z]+$/`, End Of File and End Of Data, do seem most common, but it's also nice to provide a bit more help as to what it is that your ending.

I like `END` or `END_DESCRIPTIVE_NAME` where `_DESCRIPTIVE_NAME` is something descriptive of the content. For example, `END_HTML` if I have an html fragment or `END_ICON` if I am embedding an encoded icon in a gui.

Also note that the here-doc is assigned to the indicated position (index($strptime,"sub")+6) in $obj_strptime.
