in reply to Reading and executing Perl

You can also use "do 'filename.pl'". This does (excuse me) the same kind of thing as eval can and more. Similar security concerns apply though. Update<\b> See http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/do.html for more info

    'do filename' won't work here because the op doesn't have a complete perl file but random text interspersed with perl code. I don't see 'do' do any filtering.
      No, quite right. Should have read it a bit more carefully so that I didn't miss the bit that said 'random text, not Perl'.
