in reply to PadWalker::var_name BUG?

Read perlintern's section of Pad Data Structures. If I'm reading it correctly, eval does have a pad but it goes away when it is finished executing.

Update: I'd play with it in the debugger if I had more time to spare.

    not sure what you mean, PadWalker is an XS module and the perldebugger doesn't help there.

      I'm not sure why I said debugger either but yeah, I still haven't had time to muck with it.
