I feel sort of stupid asking what seems such an easy question, but I will ask it anyway.

I want to print an email address and name in the following form

first last <email>
[download]

I wrote some simple code to print this but I don't get the output I expect. Here is my output.

'first last '
[download]

Here is my code.

use strict;

my $firstName = 'first';
my $lastName = 'last';
my $email = 'email@email.com';

print "$firstName $lastName \<$email\>";
[download]

What am I doing wrong here?
