I was able to re-write and get eval to work in a sample program. Thanks.

Do you have any other suggestion on what I'm am trying to do. Is there another way but eval?

Here is the code I have: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use lib "/nss/nfx/thread_libs/lib/";
use threads;

my $thr = threads->create(
sub
{
    while (1)
    {
        eval
        {
            while (1)
            {
              print "Starting Main function again.\n";
              worker();
            }
        };
        if ($@)
        {
            print "Error Occured: <$@>.\n";
            $@=();
            sleep (5);
        }
    }
}
    );

sub worker
{
    open FILE_OUT, "> /root/xyz" or die "Can't open file: $!";
}

while (1)
{
    sleep 500;
}
