EVAL/eval is powerful enough it could be pretty much anything, so bird's-eye view here: If $RunSpecific is sufficiently non-generic (i.e. couldn't be any code whatsoever), an approach with dispatch tables or similar (dynamic method lookup, giant switch ...) might be an alternative. Optionally parsing the code (Perl subset, DSL?) yourself. For use with any code whatsoever though, you need that kind of power, and as Brandon wrote: You get to do your own data sanitization, and you tell Perl 6 you did so with "use MONKEY-SEE-NO-EVAL;".
