On cygwin 1.5.21-2 with perl 5.8.7 I get a parse error on the second variation...(which seems normal given the lonely doublequote at the end of the eval no??) Devel::Size is 0.59 which seems to be old (latest is 0.63)

UPDATE: with the modification indicated by shmem, I get the same result in both cases. latest version of Devel::Size is 0.64 (not 0.63) so the problem could also come from there 


% stephan@armen (/home/stephan) %
% perl -MDevel::Size -e 'print $Devel::Size::VERSION'
0.59


% stephan@armen (/home/stephan) %
% ./devel_size_test.px   
Devel::Size: Calculated sizes for CVs are incomplete

Hullo, monkses!

Howdy, world!
