Hello monks,

I recently ran into a problem with one of my scripts. After chatting with Bart it on the CB I was convinced that I should use qq(..) instead of the here document. My curiosity has the better of me though. I am still trying to figure out what went wrong in my original script. The script itself it really long, but can be viewed at my scratchpad. hok_si_la's scratchpad
In Summation, 
########### Works ##############
print <<END_OF_PRINT;
      <blahtag>blah blah $blah</blahtag>
      <blahtag>blah blah $blah</blahtag>
#END_OF_PRINT
      #&printOwner($data{owner1});
      #&printOwner($data{owner2});
      #&printOwner($data{owner3});
#print <<END_OF_PRINT;
      <blahtag>blah blah $blah</blahtag>
      <blahtag>blah blah $blah</blahtag>
END_OF_PRINT

######## Doesn't Work ##########
print <<END_OF_PRINT;
      <blahtag>blah blah $blah</blahtag>
      <blahtag>blah blah $blah</blahtag>
END_OF_PRINT
      #&printOwner($data{owner1});
      #&printOwner($data{owner2});
      #&printOwner($data{owner3});
print <<END_OF_PRINT;
      <blahtag>blah blah $blah</blahtag>
      <blahtag>blah blah $blah</blahtag>

The warning is placed in various locations depending on the initial query.

Sorry in advance for writing a book, but I am very curious about the problem.

Your help would be appreciated greatly,

UPDATE:I figured out one huge prob. I had a lexically global defined %data for my main, and the subroutine printowners defined a %data within its scope. That could not be good.
