hey, i just noticed something in my output from running 'date' in a heredoc on Win32. look closely at the output:
The current date is: Thu 06/21/2001
Enter the new date: (mm-dd-yy) date
when date is run from the command line, the output is:
The current date is: Thu 06/21/2001
Enter the new date: (mm-dd-yy)
so why does date (the contents of $foo) appear when run from a heredoc with backtick interpolation? this seems to be more than just a fancy way of quoting. can someone verify this behaviour on *nix?
curiouser and curiouser...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
