As I pointed out in the CB both the here docs and qq or q work for me; so the error is either somewhere else or you forgot to end a HERE doc somewhere. my test case:
$blah = "something";
#$blah printed as $blah
print q(
<blahtag>blah blah $blah</blahtag>
<blahtag>blah blah $blah</blahtag>
);
#&printOwner($data{owner1});
#&printOwner($data{owner2});
#&printOwner($data{owner3});
#$blah printed as $blah's value (using q)
print q(
<blahtag>blah blah ) . $blah . q(</blahtag>
<blahtag>blah blah ) . $blah . q(</blahtag>
);
#&printOwner($data{owner1});
#&printOwner($data{owner2});
#&printOwner($data{owner3});
#$blah printed as $blah's value (using qq)
print qq(
<blahtag>blah blah $blah</blahtag>
<blahtag>blah blah $blah</blahtag>
);
Judging by the amount of HTML your printing using HERE docs in your code, you might want to look at HTML::Template. Which would allow you to seperate your HTML and perl code (which is much easier to debug and update).

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).
