Where's your use strict and use warnings ?

You need an ';' here.

Here's my attempt:
use strict;
use warnings;
my $tfrom = 'AàÀáÁâÂãÃäÄåÅæÆBCçÇDðÐEèÈéÉêÊëËFGHIìÌíÍîÎïÏJKLMNñÑ' .
'OòÒóÓôÔõÕöÖøØPQRSßTþÞUùÙúÚûÛüÜVWXYýÝÿZ';
my $tto = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaabcccdddeeeeeeeeefghiiiiiiiiijklmnnn' .
'ooooooooooooopqrsstttuuuuuuuuuvwxyyyyz';
eval <<END_OF_SUB
sub tr_iso_8859_1__ASCII {
my \$name = \$_[0];
\$name =~ tr/$tfrom/$tto/;
print "in : \$_[0]\nout: \$name\n";
return \$name;
}
END_OF_SUB
;
tr_iso_8859_1__ASCII(
'abcdefABCDEFAàÀáÁâÂãÃäÄåÅæÆBCçÇDðÐEèÈéÉêÊëËFGHIìÌíÍîÎïÏJKLM');
__END__
