G'day StarRice,

Welcome to the monastery.

"And the errors I get running perl -c: ..."

Look at "Print <<addressForm;": you'll want to s/Print/print/.

"And It's errors: ... (Might be a runaway multi-line "" string starting on line 3) ..."

Look at the double quotes you use on line 3. Not &quot;, instead &ldquo;. 

$ perl -Mutf8 -E 'say "Normal double quote: ", ord q{"}'
Normal double quote: 34

$ perl -Mutf8 -E 'say "Your double quote: ", ord q{“}'
Your double quote: 8220
