  SHC> Actually the OP did respond that it was being run under mod_perl:

why would mod_perl have anything to do with evaling hardwired values
inside lc()? i have done plenty of perl code generation (see Sort::Maker
for one) and you can control that easily if you take care. the OP had a
fixed value of or (oregon?) inside lc. so some code had lc($state) where
$state was 'or' already. why was that code evaled with the state name
hard wired?

  SHC> The question is is $state a mod_perl variable?  And did the OP `use
  SHC> strict;`?

strict should have anything to do with this either. we need to see more
code or the original code before this supposed eval is called.
