Turn on $Data::Dumper::Terse and only use eval STRING as eval BLOCK is not what you want e.g
use warnings;
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
use Test::More qw(no_plan);
package Foo;
sub new {bless {'a' => 1}, $_[0]};
package main;
my $foo = Foo->new();
my $foo_dumped_evaled;
$Data::Dumper::Terse = 1;
$foo_dumped_evaled = eval(Dumper($foo));
isa_ok($foo_dumped_evaled,'Foo'); #fails
$foo_dumped_evaled = eval{Dumper($foo)};
isa_ok($foo_dumped_evaled,'Foo'); #fails
print Dumper($foo);
__output__
ok 1 - The object isa Foo
not ok 2 - The object isa Foo
# Failed test (pmsopw_478513.pl at line 19)
# The object isn't a reference
bless( {
'a' => 1
}, 'Foo' )
1..2
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 2.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
