in thread Problems with eval

Actually I despise using it purely for emphasis outside hash assignments when the left side is not an autoquoted bareword. :-) In this case I could have written '-xml', $inputfile, '-pdf', $outputfile but that's a lot more line noise IMHO. I hate seeing it used like push @array => $scalar; though which I've occasionally seen here.
