I'm trying to do the following (with all variables appropriately set) 
for (@attribute_list) {
    my $sub = "package $package; sub get$_ { \$_[0]->get($_) }; ";
    eval $sub;
}

It's not only not compiling, but it's not telling me why nor is it allowing me to go into the debugger (a truly last resort!). This is being executed in a section of code that is called as a class method. The method is defined in the parent class and is called like 
Foo->define_attributes(qw(attr1 attr2 attr3));

If I comment out the eval and just define the methods myself, I'm all good. But, that sorta doesn't finish the job. *sighs*

Don't go borrowing trouble. For programmers, this means Worry only about what you need to implement.
