To this humble initiate, it looks like a bug. In the following test program, the text inside the eval seems (correctly) to run in package P; the only difference that prepending 'package P' makes is to set __PACKAGE__ correctly.

[~/perl/test]$ cat package #!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; no strict 'vars'; sub speak($) { print __PACKAGE__, "::speak was passed '", $_[0], "'\n"; } $var = "\$main::var\n"; $var = $var; package P; sub speak($) { print __PACKAGE__, "::speak was passed '", $_[0], "'\n"; } $var = "\$P::var\n"; $var = $var; eval ' speak __PACKAGE__; print $var;'; eval 'package P; speak __PACKAGE__; print $var;'; [~/perl/test]$ ./package P::speak was passed 'main' $P::var P::speak was passed 'P' $P::var [~/perl/test]$

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.
