Your version is dangerously close to getting optimized away into nothingness. Just disable the warning. That's much safer.

Re^6: "eval" and "my" variable weirdness

    It *is* optimized away (according to Deparse), but not before satisfying our needs. The safe version would be: 

    {
   use warnings;
   my $thingy = 'thangy';
   sub doit { no warnings 'void';
              $thingy;  # Close over $thingy
              eval 'print "thingy is $thingy\n"'; }
}

doit();  # "thingy is thangy"
