it sounds like you are leaving the semicolon off the end of the line  
that begins the HERE doc.

while both of these will work (as far as perl is concerned):

   my $text = <<EOT
   blah blah blah
   EOT
   ;

-or-

   my $text = <<EOT;
   blah blah blah
   EOT

the second is preferred, and also parses and highlights correctly by TM.
