Here's a relevant post: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/115762 I think there have historically been issues with eval STRING even when the string is not a syntax error. If you want to play around a bit you can try recompiling your perl with Perl's malloc or the system's malloc (whichever you are not using now) to see if it changes things. - Perrin
