I certainly could. The problem is that I am not the only one (I hope!) using the module, and I want to make it as easy as possible for people who are not familiar with eval to use the module.

Maybe after all I should just add this to the documentation, along with something restating the eval { BLOCK } is _not_ slow (it seems that a lot of people avoid eval systematically on account of it being slow, when only the eval "string" version can be slower if included in a loop for example).
