I recently moved to CSW blastwave repositories - including perl.

I have a perl script that accepts a C program and does a pretty print to a network printer using lp().

The postscript is capture in a HERE doc.

$prolog = << ENDPROLOG;
.
.
.
A bunch of postscript.
.
.
.
ENDPROLOG

$PRINT_CMD = '/usr/bin/lp';
$outcmd = "| $PRINT_CMD";

open(OUT,$outcmd);

print OUT $prolog;

After upgrading perl the script is no longer printing the postscript but is printing the postscript code.

I was wondering if someone could point me to a better way.
