    Thanks, it was as simple as
    my $can = $canvas; eval($buffer);
    I did need to convert the name $canvas to $can.

    While I was waiting for your reply, I also found that this worked

    use Sub::Install; Sub::Install::install_sub({ code => sub {eval $buffer}, into => main::, as => 'foo' }); &foo($canvas);
    Thanks again.
