I am trying to use Safe

Strangely, with the ":base_core" ops allowed, numeric constants cause a 'ref-to-glob cast' to be trapped. I am assuming I need to permit another op.

I have made the following test code to demonstrate the problem:

#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use Safe;
my $box = new Safe;
$box->permit_only(':base_core');

my $vi = $box->reval('5',1);
die "$@ " unless (defined $vi);
print "vi=$vi\n";

Which die'd with the messaged 'ref-to-glob cast' trapped by operation mask at (eval 6) line 1.
