Since you're eval()ing the code they enter to set the variables and such, you can directly reproduce the code of the subroutine, as long as you request that they enter ONE subroutine at a time, and that subroutines are entered by themselves. This also does not work for code references. But it is a start.
# in evaluate()
if (/^\s*sub\s+(\S+)/) {
$WorkSpace::functions{$1} = $_;
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
