Re: Eval Errors

[Randy W. Sims]

I've CC'd p5p for enlightenment & simplified your code to the following:

my @code = (
  q('a poorly 'nested' string'),
  q('a poorly 'nested::nested' string'),
);
for (@code) {
  eval;
  print "Caught: $@" if $@;
}
Output is:

Caught: Bad name after nested' at (eval 1) line 1.
Bareword found where operator expected at (eval 2) line 1, near "'a 
poorly 'nested::nested"
        (Missing operator before nested::nested?)
String found where operator expected at (eval 2) line 1, near 
"nested::nested' string'"
Caught: syntax error at (eval 2) line 1, near "'a poorly 'nested::nested"

I understand the errors, but not the difference in behaviour. I think 
this is DWIMish bug in perl, but let's see what more enlightened minds 
say before reporting it as such.

Randy.
