Use this sub: 
# Useage example:
my $error = run_code('/file1.pl');
print "Run code failed, err msg:\n$error" if $error;

sub run_code {
    my $path = shift;
    open(CODE, $path) || return "Oops: $path $!\n";
    local $/;    
    my $code = <CODE>;
    eval $code;
  return $@;
}

Needs full path to code to be run.

The local $/ gives a locally undefined value to the input record seperator $/ with the result that we glob the whole file into $code. This saves us from @code = <CODE>; $code= join'',@code;

The sub returns undef if it suceeds or the error message if it fails to run the code.

Hope this helps.
