[MacPerl] Here-Document problem

["R. Mark Adams" <rmadams@alphagene.com>]

I have been having some difficulty with the Perl "here-document"
operator in MacPerl.  The following script works fine on my UNIX box:

print(<<"MY_EOF");
this is a test
and so is this 
and so is that...
MY_EOF

But fails with the following warning on my Mac:

# Can't find string terminator "MY_EOF" anwhere before EOF.

My real application is embedding AppleScripts within MacPerl, and
keeping them easy to read.  Any suggestions on this front would be
appreciated.

Thanks-

Mark
