Here's another way, based on your code:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; ### sub datestamp(){ use POSIX; return strftime("%D %r",localtime); } my $var_day = datestamp(); ### print <<HERE, datestamp(), <<SECOND; Variable interpolation works - Instead of the literal text seen here, this variable's value is printed. >>$var_day<< But how do you do "function" interpolation? The next line prints itself literally, instead of being substituted with the function's return value. Is there some other way of writing this that does what I want? HERE here's some more text... la la la SECOND print "done!";

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
