Subject: _VERY_ basic Here Doc Question

Hi,

I'm dinking with some examples in D&A's book (specifically, a socket-level
time server), and I just tried replacing a slew of output statements with
what I thought would be a well-formed here document.

Here's the offending code:

while ( session = server.accept )
 x = "Request: #{session.gets}"
 print x
 session.print( "HTTP/1.1 200/OK\r\n" )
 session.print("Content-type:  text/html\r\n\r\n" )

 { Bunch of no-doubt fascinating stuff snipped ...}
 if x.index( "jpclient=yes" )
  session.print( <<-"JAVA_CLIENT_RAW_XML"
  <timeserve_packet\>
   <time>
    #{Time.now}
   </time>
  </timeserve_packet>
  JAVA_CLIENT_RAW_XML )
  next
 end
 { &etc. }

....but the here doc doesn't parse.  Can someone please take two nanoseconds
to point out the obvious?

Thanks!
