Dear all, I'd like to take a condition specified by a user and use it to perform a set of tests on a data set. Is there a module to do this?
For example, I might have an array of hashes containing "name", "price" and "age". I would like a user to be able to define their own condition, such as "age > 10 && price < (age + 5) * 10", and then to get the result (true or false) for each of the array items. Is there a nice easy way to do this without trying to parse the condition myself? Presumably I could do some sort of eval, but that sounds highly dangerous with user input ;-) Andy
