note Eliya <p> As for <c>eval</c> slowing down your system, don't worry &#8212; unless you're eval'ing those config snippets millions of times... (on my system, the given piece of code wrapped in a sub can be eval'ed and executed roughly 50000 times per second). </p> <p> The security worries, OTOH, are justified, presuming you can't trust your users, and the code isn't being run under their own user ID anyway (in which case I wouldn't worry too much...) &nbsp; You might want to look into [mod://Safe] to restrict the opcodes that can be used. </p> 971181 971181
