in thread unblessed reference problem

I've tried using eval without success:

my $answer = $hash->eval($test)

I can "can't call method eval". I've never used eval before any hints?

    I linked to the documentation of eval for a reason. Nowhere in the documentation, your form of use is mentioned. That doesn't mean that your version does not work, but I wonder how you deduce that expectation from the documentation you read.

    *sigh* even more reason you shouldn't go near eval
