Amitava:

As Ronald J Kimball <rjk@linguist.dartmouth.edu> replied before:

Remove the whitespace before or after your closing tag if they have been
included
(you can not indent the end tags EOP and the end tag TEST or add
whitespaces after them)

Your here-doc terminator is the string "EOP"...

...but down here you use " EOP".


perldiag:

       Can't find string terminator %s anywhere before EOF

           (F) Perl strings can stretch over multiple lines.
           This message means that the closing delimiter was
           omitted.  Because bracketed quotes count nesting
           levels, the following is missing its final
           parenthesis:

               print q(The character '(' starts a side comment.);

           If you're getting this error from a here-document, you
           may have included unseen whitespace before or after
           your closing tag. A good programmer's editor will have
           a way to help you find these characters.


You need to make sure you use exactly the same string at the end of the
here-doc that you use at the beginning.
