The problem is that Coro cannot reliably work when you jump in/out of
currently-being-compiled code, as perl changes too much of global state
when compiling programs, and doesn't tolerate context switches at that
point.
You should be able to compile code, and use cede in it, but it has to be
done in seperate steps.
(i.e. eval { } instead of eval "").
The workaround for 'do ""' would be to read the string, compile it into a
sub, and run it.
It might be possible to support just that case, as compiling is almost
finished, and it might be possible to detetc this case and barf with a
better error message. I will have a look at it.

Not really, you are just running into a limitation that perl sets, and is not
documented anyhwere :/
On a less serious level, yes, you do sth. wrong:
> eval q|

Of course, recompiling the code makes no sense, but I guess it's just for
the sake of the example. You _should_ be able to replace all occurrences
of that by seperate 'my $sub = eval "sub { ... }"; &$sub' invocations.
