Hi, I am working on a code snippet which tends to give me an error...
Internal error: eval failed: Global symbol "@fields" requires explicit package name at (eval 143357592) line 2.
Global symbol "@fields" requires explicit package name at (eval 143357592) line 4.
Global symbol "@fields" requires explicit package name at (eval 143357592) line 5.

Below is the code snippet: 
my $evalstr = <<EOEVAL;
my \@fields = (\$val =~ /\$ivalue/$modifiers);
if (\@fields)
  {
    for (\$j = 0; \$j < \@fields; \$j++)
      {    \$self->{_regex_vars}[\$c]{\$tag}[\$j+1] = \$fields[\$j] }
    1
  }
else { -1 }
EOEVAL

I tried with different permutations and combinations to generate the above error by pasting this code snippet into a individual perl module, but was not able to get the error. Can someone explain in which conditions will i get above mentioned error in the mentioned code snippet? How can i simulate the error?
Thanks, ShekharL
