in reply to variable scope within eval{}

insert_budget_line does probably not return what you think it does. Did you check?

    Yes I did and it works fine in the eval block but is invisible when passed to the sub

      Easy enough to prove it works: 

      >perl -wMstrict -le
"my $bl_id;
 my @bly_id;
 sub insert_budget_line { return 'foo'; }
 sub insert_budget_line_year { return @_[1,0]; }
 eval {
   $bl_id = insert_budget_line();
   @bly_id = insert_budget_line_year(bl_id => $bl_id);
   };
 print qq{@bly_id};
"
foo bl_id

      How is your  insert_budget_line_year function defined?

      Can you post the relevant code of the sub you call?
