Hello. I am trying to get print statements inside a function call inside a here-doc to work. Here is what I have so far: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

print <<"TEXT";
This
is
a
@{[ PrintHereDoc() ]}
here-doc.
TEXT

print "END\n";

# subroutine
sub PrintHereDoc
{
    print "print statement inside a ";
    return 0;
}

I want it to print:

This
is 
a
print statement inside a
here-doc.

[download]

...but instead it is printing:

print statement inside a This
is
a
0
here-doc.

Why is the "print statement inside a" getting printed first? Also, is there a way I can disregard printing the return value of the subroutine?
