This introduces several new ideas to me, so I played with
it for more than a quarter hour, at a console command-line. I tried in 5.005_003
and in 5.6, evaluating a second eval(), getting the same
behavior as for the first eval(). I guess it clarifies the behavior, and
hopefully it's contributory to an interesting thread. > perl -wle '
q(foo) =~ m/.*/;
eval <>;'
print $&; q(snarf) =~ m/.*/ ; eval <>;
#prints 'foo', not 'snarf' and waits for input;
And, I think this is amusing:
> perl -le ' my $incr = 0;
q( print $incr++, $& and " stew" =~ /.*/ and eval $& until $incr > 10)
+ =~ /.*/;
eval <>;'
eval $&; # prints '0 ( guesswhat) '..'10 stew' (versions differ on
+-w)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).
