'delete $INC{"Foo"}; use Foo;'
in your filter, then your filter will be re-loaded when the string is eval'd.
However, when I tried this -- using Filter::Simple as I thought that I could use it's separation of code and strings to my advantage -- it gets very confusing about what stage you are at. Everytime I thought I was close to having something work, another gotcha popped up.
So, I thought I pass the basic idea along and see if it give you better inspiration than I. :)
Update: dws pointed out that the above code wasn't responsible for my percieved partial success. The use Foo; will happen before the delete $INC{'Foo'}. The delete $INC{'Foo'} needs to delete $INC{'Foo.pm'} anyway.
The thing fooled me was a redundant piece of test code in the external file....D'oh.
Anyway, having re-examined it, I did get a little closer, but still way short of anything that could be called successful.
The filter package Filter::Test;
use Filter::Simple;
FILTER_ONLY
code => sub {
# print'C: ', $_;
s[eval\s*($Filter::Simple::placeholder)]['<<<<<1>>>>>' eval '<
+<<<<2>>>>>' . $1 ];
# print'C: ', $_;
$_;
},
quotelike => sub {
# print 'Q: ', $_;
$_ = uc $_;
s['<<<<<1>>>>>'][delete \$INC{'Filter/Test.pm'};];
s['<<<<<2>>>>>']["BEGIN{ require Filter::Test; Filter::Test::i
+mport}"];
# print 'Q: ', $_;
$_;
},
;
print 'Filter::Test loaded';
The test program #! perl -slw
use strict;
use Filter::Test;
print 'Hello World from ', __PACKAGE__;
eval "print 'Just another perl hacker'";
#require 'My/filtertest.pm';
The external program package My::filtertest;
print 'Hello World';
eval "print 'Just another perl hacker';";
1;
The output P:\test>296091
Filter::Test loaded
HELLO WORLD FROM main
P:\test>296091
Filter::Test loaded
HELLO WORLD FROM main
Filter::Test loaded

(Do you need to predeclare PRINT?)

As you can see, the Filter is being loaded twice, and the text within the evald string has bee uppercased (too much of it, but that's a detail :).
I did have the require half working at one point, by using eval 'use Filter::Test;' do{ local *ARGV = 'file'; <> };, but it starts getting very complicated when you start trying to filter an eval'd require file that contains evals that contains requires....

I can't wrap my brain around it any longer, but maybe it will inspire you, or convince you to try a different route, which might be an equally valid assist :)
