Re: limiting scope of 'eval'??

Something like:

$a = "VAR_A";
$b = qq[
    package Nowhere; 
    local ( $/, $_, $@, $0, $a, $b ); ## etc.
    print "VAR_B (\$a)\n";
];

eval $b;

I'm not quite sure what you expect from \$a though, except an error?

You either have to use `q` instead of `qq`, or escape all your `$` signs, otherwise they will be interpolated when you assign them to b instead of at eval time. So his use of `\$a` is correct afaik	[reply] [d/l] [select]
