The end of HERETO docs need to be left justified. This is correct, but if you want to give the appearance of indentation, you can quote the whitespace as well `print <<' EOF'; <html> .... EOF` [download] Probably not good coding practice, but neat nonetheless. More information is available here (thanks to theguvnor for the original link :)	[reply] [d/l]

Neat trick. The left alignment has always bugged me but I would think getting the spacing right a pain. -Lee "To be civilized is to deny one's nature."	[reply]

Actually the spacing isn't that much of an issue if you use tabs in your text editor to handle that. :) ..Guv	[reply]

i've recently started assigning blocks of text/html to variables like so: `my $chunk = qq{ <b>Blah!</b><br><br> <i>Blah?</i> <u>Blah...</u> };` [download] then i just print it.. the reason i started doing this as opposed to using heredocs is the pretty formatting; i strip out the tabs used to indent with a regex before printing. as a side note, this seems to render pages MUCH faster than using heredocs. :)	[reply] [d/l]
