NAME

eval - Eval code

VERSION

This document describes version 0.001 of eval (from Perl distribution eval), released on 2019-10-19.

SYNOPSIS

Use in one-liner or in PERL5OPT:

% perl -Meval='$Carp::MaxArgLen = 1000' script.pl

% DEBUG=1 PERL5OPT='-Meval=$Carp::MaxArgLen=1000' script.pl
eval.pm: Eval'ing: $Carp::MaxArgLen=1000

DESCRIPTION

This pragma lets you run some Perl code before running your script. Some other ways to accomplish the same include:

• creating $Config{sitelib}/sitecustomize.pl

  See perlrun.

• putting your code in a module and load it using -m or -M

  For example, you put your code in lib/Foo.pm and run your script using:

  % PERL5OPT="-Ilib -MFoo" script.pl

• do

  % perl -e'$Carp::MaxArgLen = 1000; do "script.pl"'

Some caveats:

• No whitespace in code in PERL5OPT

  Space is used to separate perl options in PERL5OPT, so you can't do:

  % PERL5OPT='-Meval=$Carp::MaxArgLen = 1000' script.pl

  but you can do:

  % PERL5OPT='-Meval=$Carp::MaxArgLen=1000' script.pl

  To help you see what code is being eval'ed, set DEBUG to true:

  % PERL5OPT='-Meval=$Carp::MaxArgLen=1000' script.pl
  eval.pm: Eval'ing: $Carp::MaxArgLen=1000

ENVIRONMENT

DEBUG

Bool. If set to true, will show what code is being eval'ed.
