You can never be certain in *any* case. Check if you're not sure what it means. Because sometimes languages use some term in a way you don't expect, whether because they drew it from some specific discipline (Haskell uses a lot of terminilogy from abstract mathematics, for example) or for some

If it's literally just the name of a sub that you'll immediately invoke, you can side-step EVAL completely     ::('&' ~ $RunSpecific)() should do the trick. ::("") will give you the sub object, and putting () after it will immediately call it. It will allow access to all s
