Have you considered what will happen if your input contains a string value along the lines of "}; system('format c:'); #"

Yes. Later on, I am going to add regexes to check the values.	[reply]

You don't need eval for that. `my $re = qr{^(\d+):}; my $data = '123: 45'; if ($data =~ $re) { print "Matched!"; }` [download] Perl 6 - the future is here, just unevenly distributed	[reply] [d/l]
