I'm trying to print a block of code using 'print <<LABEL; but am getting an
error stating perl can't find the termination label.
Test code and error as follows:

#!/usr/bin/perl

print <<TEST;
this is my tester text
TEST

Can't find string terminator "TEST" anywhere before EOF at photo.pl line 3.

Anyone got any ideas as to why it's doing this?

Thanks.
