Dear list: Sorry to distrub all .
When I learned Perl on the book called "Perl by example 4th Chinese Edition ", I found there was an error on this book . There had a perl script writted by this : #!/usr/bin/perl print << 'END'; echo Today is date END The book said the script would display this : Today is Fir Oct 27 12:48:36 PDT 2007 But when I put it on my OS called CentOS 5.3 and run it ,the output like this : echo Today is date I also write it like this : #!/usr/bin/perl $now =`date`; print <<END; Today is $now END This script will be displayed t this "Today is Wed Oct 18:38 CST 2009" Is it an error of the book ?Or Can the Perl would execute the Shell command in here document with the signal quotes? Thanks in advance ~~~~
