|Why does the "$theReply = <<END_HTML;" generate the following:
|Use of uninitialized value at /disk4/igoal/Scripts/mldb/checkOut4.cgi line 211.

Are you sure 211 is that line? You shouldn't get that error. Consider:

#!perl

$x = $x + 5;

$theReply = <<END_HTML;
blah blah blah....
END_HTML

print $theReply;

Running this with -w complains about the use of an uninitialized value at
line 3 (the $x = $x + 5 line), but not line 5.

Another possibility is that you're actually doing:

$theReply = <<END_HTML;
blah $variable blah....
END_HTML

and $variable is uninitialized. That will elicit a complaint and the line
number will be the $theReply = line, no matter where $variable occurs in
the hereis doc.
