Bill -

I have used HERE documents in shipping.asc before, formatted according to 
the docs, and it worked for me, so your problem may lie elsewhere (though I 
honestly can't remember if I used it for criteria or cost).  If are editing 
this on a Windows/Mac box and uploading it, that could be the problem, as 
Perl code lines do not like to be terminated with non-newlines.
