I need to accept a cgi variable from which is to
interpolate into a constructor method for class
Allsys::Resource::ManMan in which there are several
different constructors, namely

newDocument
openDocument
viewDocument

(with
saveDocument
closeDocument
as destructors, kind of).

elsif (defined($q->param('task'))) {
    
    my $task = $q->param('task');
    if ($task =~ /^([\w]+)$/) {
         $task = $1; # untainting
        }

    my $refname = $q->param('refname');
    if ($refname =~ /^([\w]+)$/) {
        $refname = $1; # untainting
        }

    my $ref = "Allsys::Resource::ManMan->" . $task . "Document($refnam
+e)";

    my $documents = {};
    
    $documents->{$refname} = eval($ref);
print $documents->{$refname};
    }

The third from last line is where I've tried to do this.
Can anyone shed some light on what I'm doing wrong?
