Executing a variable that contains perl code

Anybody know of any modules or ways to execute a variable that contains perl code as if it were part of the script?

IE do : print `/usr/bin/perl -e '$code_here'`;

Except be able to use variables/arrays/hashes/routines that are in the script  with that line

EG : print `/usr/bin/perl -e '$code_here'`;
Works great if $code_here is just a print statement or uses it's own vars/routines, etc
But I need to be able to have some code like this :

$joemama = "HI";
sub joe { print "Mama"; }

$code_here = 'print $joemama\;&joe\;'; # actually this var gets set with perl code in a mysql database 

print `/usr/bin/perl -e '$code_here'`;

output this :
HIMama

How can I get it to be able to use the script's vars and routines etc?
