Re: Eval in RegEx ...

Your issue is that print returns true if the print succeeded. So rather than print "Hello World";, you probably just want "Hello World"; (or return "Hello World";), since subroutines return the last thing evaluated.

As a side note, this sounds like you are doing something imprudent, either from a security or reinventing the wheel perspective. This type of templating is natural in Template::Toolkit, and might be worth a perusal.

Though Template::Plugin is useful but not suit for my job. And secondly I'm very much fond of "reinventing the wheel"!!! Thanks anyway. P.S> I don't require too much templating, I've a specific job and that too without any additional modules, as on a very ligh weight and small system which has only core modules available (perl 5.8.8)	[reply]

Then you might consider running HTML::Template with a filter. Super-lightweight, no dependencies, pure Perl and compatible going way back. Was the issue resolved? #11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.	[reply]
