Now I'm confused, what's the difference between a Perl interrupter and a
Perl interpreter? Or, what perldoc is that info in?
Thanks

Please say this is a late April Fool's joke. Your suggested use of eval
is not optimal. This is the fastest, and easiest to understand, method
of extracting data from a data structure:
my $value = $hash{food}{fruit}[0];
The way use you eval is a string eval, which is very costly in terms of
processing time. The Perl interrupter must be restarted every time this
statement is encountered. Just stick with POP (Plain Old Perl).
