You should be getting an error like:
Can't find string terminator "" anywhere before EOF at ./foo.pl
line nnn.
because your statement is being evaluated as
print <<"";
(and head is being taken as a bareword) which is half-way clear
from the error given above, and would surely be clear if you were
using the -w switch. If you really want to end on " head", go
ahead and do that; or end on "head" and remove the leading spaces
later on.
One moral of this story is that the -w switch alerts you very
quickly to a great many problems. Somebody once said it is a bug
that the -w switch isn't mandatory (cf. man perl).
