    Don't forget to check $@ afterwards. As pointed out in eval, in addition to evaluating code, eval traps errors and puts them into $@. So minor typos etc will get trapped, and can cause puzzling failures.

      i left out that line of code -
      it follows with:
      die "$@ $code" if $@;
      thanks for the reminder though.
