Your eval statement declares several lexical variables, but then you expect them to be available via the symbol table as globals! That won't work, just as the following won't work:
my $foo = "blah";
print $main::foo; ## whoops, not the same variable
In addition, eval creates a fresh lexical scope, so the scope of the lexical variables is only within that eval. You can't get such a thing to work with lexicals + eval:
eval 'my $foo = 1';
print $foo; ## whoops, outside of $foo's scope
It defeats one of the major purposes of lexical variables (that is, compile-time checking of variable bindings). You'll have to use either globals, or perhaps a hash of values if you want to instantiate variables via eval (and have them visible from outside the eval).

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).
