Hi all,

I've gotten stuck with something, and I'm having trouble finding a good fix.

Over at Script Generator, I posted some code that generates template scripts for me to work from, and it seems to work just fine, unless I try and use a -h or -m option, which I set up to use Pod::Usage to parse my pod and display a quick help or manpage.

However, my template script generates a good chunk of pod, and I used a heredoc to quote the bigger chunks (and some smaller ones too, trying to enhance readability), but when my pod is being parsed, those heredocs get parsed in too.

I've tried including my pod at the top of the script, at the bottom, and either way it still parses the bits that are supposed to be printing.

Any ideas, recommendations, etc?
