This is part of why I hate heredocs. Just use a regular single- or
double- quoted print statement with a custom quote delimiter:
print q[
<style type="text/css" media="all">
@import url("theta.css");
@media print {
body {background: white; color: black; font: 12pt Times, serif;}
#noprnt {display: none !important;}
}
</style>
];
Less fiddly, easier to read, works as well or better.
Heredocs are for grizzled old shell-scripters that refuse to let go of
their scars :-)
