The point of them is that I am tying to avoid having to comment and uncomment multiple lines of print code. Specifically, the list one is 3 lines and I am doing this multiple times with testing. Also, I like to have informative prints where I have the variable/list name and if it is a list , I like to have a label for each element.

So you're writing some kind of developer aid, like Smart::Comments?

eval probably won't work the way you want -- try PadWalker or Data::Dumper::Names

FWIW, that ought to be as simple as calling Ctrl+Q repeatedly (well if you have SciTE, different keyboard shortcuts for different editors)
