If any part of the listed modifier for the here document is quoted, the here document acts like single quotes: cat <<-'EOF' foo\bar$baz EOF => foo\bar$baz (Note that the stripping of whitespace from the '-' still takes effect.) -s -- Copyright 2009, all wrongs reversed.

I suppose you meant something like mystr = <<-'EOT' hello EOT > (Note that the stripping of whitespace from the '-' still takes effect.) The `-' just means that an indented "EOT" will close the here document; without it the "EOT" has to start in column 1. No whitespace will be stripped inside the string.

I suppose you meant something like .... Whoops. This is right next to comp.unix.shell in my reading list, and oddly, the feature appears to be nearly identical. Except for the different handling of -'MARKER'. -s -- Copyright 2009, all wrongs reversed.
