To start with, you should lose the quotes around EOM in the opening of the string assignment above. I'm not sure that those in themselves would cause the code to fail, but they make it more confusing. In the here document quoting syntax, print <<END_SIGNAL sets the typeglob END_SIGNAL, followed by a newline, as a multiline string terminator, and opens the string. The interpeter will then expect to see another END_SIGNAL on a line by itself, and at the start of the line. If it does not see the terminator, or possibly if you confuse the hell out of it with the extra quotes, it will not be able to compile the assignment statement [in this case an implicit assignment to an anonymous string passed to print()].
