A It has been my goal to use a here document
so that I need have only one set of code to
accomplish three tasks:
1 acknowledge receipt of a customer's order
2 archive a copy
3 e-mail a copy to the order fillers
B my $city = $Response->Form( 'city' )->{Item} ;
$Response->Write(<<EOT) ;
<tr><td align=right>City:</td><td align=left>$city</td></tr>
EOT
does produce a here document
C But I am not able to capture it for reuse, at least not with
$Msg = $Response->Write(<<EOT) ;
followed by
print TFILE $Msg ; for archiving
Send( $Msg ) ; for e-mailing
D The here document approach works with perl and CGI :
my $q = new CGI ;
$q->import_names('Q');
$Msg = <<MYHEREDOC ;
<tr><td align=right>City:</td><td align=left>$Q::city</td></tr>
MYHEREDOC
which is importing values out of a namespace
as opposed to using a method to retrieve a value
E Does the object model have a means of importing from a namespace?
