You're playing on words now. The original point is you cannot leave an eval with last.

You are right that words are our problem. My original point was that you can leave eval with last. My perception of "leave" is that you stop executing the commands in eval{}. Your perception of leave appears to be to jump right to the end of the eval{} block.

It's like this: If you step out of your front door, you leave the house. But if you teleport to your friend's, you leave your house, too, don't you.

In fact, you can "leave" eval{} using die, too.
