That's why I really like HWG-Languages!!!  We'll come up with so
many solutions.

Here, another variation:

print qq~
   document.write('Good Morning, <cpanel print="DOMAIN">')

   more html and javascript here....
~;

or:

print <<EOF;

<script language="javascript">
<!--
document.write ('Good Morning, <cpanel print ="DOMAIN">');
// this works
// so does this
// etc
// etc
// -->
</script>

EOF
