Have you thought about using closures instead of evals?

Strangely enough about a week ago we were talking about auto-generating accessors and I still had the following code in my scratchpad... maybe it will help... 

package accessors;
sub import {
  no strict 'refs';
  my $pkg = (caller)[0];
  for my $sub (@_) {
    *{$pkg.'::'.$sub} = sub { $#_ && $_[0]->{$sub} = $_[1]; $_[0]->{$s
+ub} }
  }
}

package main;
use accessors qw(foo bar baz);

BTW - Is untested, but should give you the idea...
Update ala demerphq, who pointed out $_[0] && would not set the accessor for false values... all fixed (update 2 change @_ to $#_... oops... tired still :)
