when i add:

$log = "/tmp/log \n";
$command = <<eod;
ftp $host << eof > $log;
user $user
password $passwd
put $spath[$i] $dpath[$i]
bye
eof
eod
[download]

into my script i get the following error: Can't fine string terminator " eod" anywhere before EOF at (eval 1) line 333. where all variables are properly defined. why can't i get eod to work? btw, line 333 is a blank line and there are no problems in that part of the script if i remove the eod/eof stuff.
