Hi Perlmonks,

Seek your assistance. I am using here-document to print a POD. The delimiter <<"FOO" is required for interpolation of a few variables (egs. $fnName) . However,there are a few variables which must be printed as its without interpolation (egs. %{$outputParams{PAYLOAD}} , $outputParams{TIMETAKEN}, $outputParams{CMDSTATUS}, $outputParams{CMDOUTPUT}).

The code below gives the obvios error : "Global symbol "%outputParams" requires explicit package name"

I figure that the "print" command can be used as a workaround . Is there any other way to achieve this ?

The codelet is mentioned below : 


print <<"FOO";
    =head2 $fnName( )

    =over 4

    =item Parameters:

    None

    =item Description:

            Display backup status.

    =item Returns:

            %{$outputParams{PAYLOAD}}; DFM Database related attributes
            $outputParams{TIMETAKEN}; Time taken to run a CLI at Serve
+r
            $outputParams{CMDSTATUS}; Status returned by the command e
+xecuted
            $outputParams{CMDOUTPUT}; Output returned by the command e
+xecuted


    =back

    =cut
