Subject: here documents as method parameter problem

in the following code, the first 2 "puts" work, but the last produces:

$ ./tmp.rb
../tmp.rb:26: parse error
, 'baz'
 ^
../tmp.rb:26: warning: useless use of a literal in void context


what's going on?  i know stylistically it's not very nice, but should
this work?

all done with ruby 1.6.6

martin.
