Just know that string eval can be costly (starts a new Perl interpreter) and potentially dangerous (you aren't using tainted user input to build this string are you?; run this with perl -T to find out for sure).

Are you running this under use strict;? If so, then you will have some problems with my @returnsting. Specifically, you will need to have @returnstring declared before your eval to use it later. That means when you eval "my @returnstring = ...", you will create lexical variable within the scope of the eval that will mask the @returnstring that you declared outside of the eval scope. To solve this, simply remove the my from the string that you build.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
