Mind you, I'm rather clueless, so take what I say with a ton of salt:

Try adding a "use Carp;" and an INIT block like "INIT { $SIG{__WARN__ }=sub { carp "Caught it"; } };"

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use Carp;
INIT {
  $SIG{__WARN__}=sub {carp "gotcha!";};
};
my $code_err = q|
my @arr;
my $i;
$arr[$i] = 0;     # line 4 within this code snippet
|;

my $code_ok = q|my $var = ""|;

eval $code_ok for (1..8);
eval $code_err;   # 9th eval, but line 14 in this script
