in reply to Executing perlcode from variable

It is possible, but it's a security risk. Are you 100% sure only lawful good Perl developers will be able to modify the database table? See eval for details if so.

Using some kind of a dispatch table might be a more secure solution.

    If at all possible, I would also rather go for a dispatch table within the program (or a used module), rather than a DB with code snippets.
