At the end of the
print <<EOF;
Also even though it's not necessary it's better to enclose the
delimiter in quotes. That way you know for sure whether the here-
doc will behave as a single- or double-quoted string :
print <<"EOF";
Some $variable content
EOF
print <<'EOF';
Some $things that
are not interpolated
EOF
Also keep in mind that the end marker must bet the only thing on
the line, there cannot be any space before nor after it on line.

There is a reason for living. There must be. I've seen it somewhere.
It's just that in the mess on my table ... and in my brain
I can't find it.
