Re: [MacPerl] Is this a bug?

[David T McWherter <dtm@waterw.com>]

Try changing your code so that your final HELLO occurs at the beginning
of a line:

	print <<HELLO;
	hi
HELLO

	Also note that there will be a tab in that (presuming you used a 
tab and not a few spaces to indent the "in", so what you have is more 
equivalent to print "\tHi\n"; than print "Hi\n".
