This is actually a hard one.  This works, and always has:

s//<<END
  /e;
blah blah blah
END

I seem to remember writing code that relies on that, too.

These work, too:

s/${ <<END
}//;
blah blah blah
END

m/${ <<END
}/;
blah blah blah
END

"${ <<END
  }";
noet oteuhhnto e
END

For consistency with historical behaviour, we would have to make this work:

/(?{ <<END
   })/
oentuh oenuth
END
