Hello David-

I, as the list admin, got your subscription message, and want to let you
know the list is working.

Obligatory perl content: you can indent a here document's end tag thusly:

if (1) {        
    $text = <<"    END";
         blah
            blah blah
                blah blah blah
    END
}

First trick I got from "The Perl Cookbook", an excellent book.
