here-doc issue

[lnatz]

Hi, I'm having an issue with here docs, and I'm sure it's something
simple that I'm overlooking but it's annoying me. Here is a snippet
from my script.

sub usage {
print<<EOF;
runbook or both
EOF
exit 0;
}

It is failing with error: Can't find string terminator "EOF" anywhere
before EOF at exec_rnbk.pl line 94.
Line 94 is "print<<EOF;".

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance!

The docs will probably help you detect the problem:
