You have a precedence/grouping problem:

print "Eval ret:",readonly((eval'capture(5)')->[0]);

[download]
and
print "Eval ret:",readonly(eval('capture(5)')->[0]);

[download]
both print "Str Eval ret   :1"

Update: Now that is odd that the grouping doesn't work for you,, mine's on Linux/Perl5.6.1.

Update 2 : Sure does look like a platform difference, and where one should not be. I can confirm that demerphq's initial results agree with what mine does with that code. It appears that it's only the parenthesized ones that differ.

Update 3 : One more test case:

print "Eval ret:",readonly(eval('capture(5)'->[0]));

[download]
prints "Str Eval ret   :0" on mine. It looks like AS groups thataway. Curiouser and curiouser.
