Hi,

I'm trying to loop into printing a series of lines so
I used here document. Substitution of variables, e.g.,
$_ works inside the HERE-Document but appending a
string won't work

For example:

if the current content of $word is the word "big", and
I would want to print a here document appending
something to "big" like "foot":

print <<EOF;

$word."foot"     -> won't work, display it as is.
"$word"."foot"   -> neither this one 
$wordfoot        -> error. it becomes a single        
 variable named $wordfoot

EOF

Any idea how to append string constants to a variable
inside a here document?

Thanks!
