RE: [PLUG] RE: web/perl issue?

["George Gallen" <ggallen@slackinc.com>]

Bareword found where operator expected at askticketdisc.cgi line 57, near "<butt
on>another button test</button"
  (Might be a runaway multi-line // string starting on line 56)
        (Missing operator before button?)
Semicolon seems to be missing at askticketdisc.cgi line 58.
syntax error at askticketdisc.cgi line 56, near "button>"  

$qtest = EOT;
<div id='qtest'>
<button>this is a button test</button><br>    <-- line 56
<button>another button test</button>
</div>
EOT

I'm running PERL 5.8.0. Might this have anything to do with it?
BTW, I tried searcing for here-doc and there was no info.
