EOF
exit 0;
}
Its failing with the error: Can't find string terminator "EOF"
anywhere before EOF at exec_rnbk.pl line 94.
Line 94 is "print<<EOF;".
Am I just missing something obvious here?
Have you got any whitespace before or after 'EOF' on the termination
line? A trailing space would prevent Perl from recognizing the
terminator but be invisible to you.
HTH,
