Could someone give an example on the proper use of the Safe module. In the Panther book eval allows the use of a variable like so.
my $c;
my $ev = '$c = 4 + 5';
eval($ev);
print $c;
The printout should be 9. Now when I use Safe on a module it doesn't turn out quite the same way.
my $c;
my $cpt = new Safe;
$cpt->share('$c');
my $ev = '$c = 4 + 5';
$cpt->reval($ev);
print $c;
When $c is printed out its nothing. Whats going on in Safe? Whats an example of its proper use?
My thanks for your enlightenment,

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).
