Hi - I am grinding through =Programming Perl= and came to the section on Here Documents in Chapter 2 (forgive me, I can't think of the term "Here documents" without thinking that there must be a dog somewhere named Documents).
Anyhoo, I tried typing some of the examples at the keyboard. They stick in my memory better that way. I'm wondering why print << x 10; The camels are coming! only seems to work if there is a blank line (e.g. a carriage return) after the string to be printed. If I don't put that blank line in, I get the error Can't find string terminator anywhere before EOF at ./perlcamel.pl line 3 (perlcamel.pl is what I called this). I'm sure this is a basic question, but the book does not seem anyway to mention a need for a blank terminating line.
