Hello.

Is it possible to execute the following code versus display it as text?

>>> Scenario: <<<

In the .pm file,

Template code is stored in the '$template_file' var which contains a place holder called {PERL_CODE}

my $c = ...

my $perlcode = 'print $c->get_html( 'some text' );';
$template_file =~ s/{PERL_CODE}/$perlcode/;

I tried this, but then had to escape the $c in $perlcode otherwise the value of $c is replaced:

my $perlcode = 'print \$c->get_html( 'some text' );';

The issue is, instead of the print function being executed, the entire statement was printed literally as a text string (which was somewhat expected).

Is there a way to execute the code instead?

Thanks.
