in thread Shell v Perl, here-doc as stdin

It's worthwhile to note that in your example, the quotes around EOF are optional. Also, that there can be no whitespace seperating the << from the ending token. It's very easy to accidentally get that wrong, e.g. 
print << FOO; # WRONG!
print <<FOO; # right

    You can doesn't mean you should. Perl6 will do away with that, thankfully.
