It's called a "here doc" - it's a unix/shell convention, allowing
multiline input:
$ mail root < hi
>
> mom
>
> .
> EOM
(old 'mail' ends w/ a '.' on line by itself)
perldoc -q HERE.Doc
Found in /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/pod/perlfaq4.pod

please forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is the "<<" function called?
Ive tried to search the net for "perl" and "<<" and cant seem to find
anything about this?
