You need an equals sign there:

$test = << EOT;
   <div id='qtest'>
   <button>this is a button test</button><br>
   <button>another button test</button>
   </div>
EOT

You can also do variable interpolation inside a here document:

my $div_id = 'qtest';
$test = << EOT;
   <div id='$div_id'>
   <button>this is a button test</button><br>
   <button>another button test</button>
   </div>
EOT

For all the gory details on this syntax, run "perldoc perlop" and
search for "here-doc".
