Commiserations. Another Perl Best Practice shows its value. Since he hasn't explicitly wrapped the terminator token in single quotes it will interpolate variables like a double quoted string. Heredoc Quoters When introducing a heredoc, quote the terminator. Adding the explicit quotes around the heredoc marker takes almost no extra effort, but it relieves every reader of having to remember the default behavior.	[reply]
