What about:
===
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
#use warnings;
my %names = (Bob => 'Robert Brower');
my $caption = 'Name: $names{Bob)';
my $caption2 = 'Name: $names{Bob}';
eval "eval {qq|$caption|}";
print "Error: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" if $@;
eval "eval {qq|$caption2|}";
print "Error: $@" if $@;
print "going on...\n";
===
$ ./script.pl
Error: syntax error at (eval 1) line 1, near "Bob)"
Missing right curly or square bracket at (eval 1) line 1, within string
going on...
