Something like this is probably more what you are looking for:
my $sop = ...
my $sport = ...
while( <FH> ) {
# get the 9th element
my $port_a = (split /:/)[8];
# do the eval and capture the return value of comparison
my $result = eval "\$port_a $sop \$sport";
# exit if eval failed
die "eval error: $@" if $@;
if( $result ) {
# do something
} else {
# do something
}
}
You have to escape the variables you dont want eval to replace (string interpolate). And the "if" statement is redunant. You can just return the boolean value of the comparison.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
