This is trivial but I'm getting tired of working around it.
Does anybody have a solution? The attached code returns;
I want blat to be the correct value not blah=HASH(0x804c8d4)->blat()

I know why Perl does this but...
I often use here documents for HTML and OO accessor methods, isn't there a better way then reassigning $self->blat all the time? 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
                                                                      
+          
package blah;
sub new {
    my $class = shift;
    my $self = {};
    bless $self, $class;
    return $self;
}
                                                                      
+          
sub print_dumb_question {
    my $self = shift;
    my $blat = $self->blat;
    print <<HERE
I want blat to be the $blat not $self->blat() \n
HERE
;
}
                                                                      
+          
sub blat {
    return ('correct value');
}
                                                                      
+          
package main;
my $dumb_problem = blah->new;
$dumb_problem->print_dumb_question;
