I've just discovered that this construction doesn't work inside an eval! The
reason is that 08 and 09 become invalid octal numbers in that context.
If anyone was wondering why I was doing such an odd thing, I was trying to
see how much I could shorten this sort of idea:
print$_=pop,$/;s/./$&>9)+$&).($&-9*($&+/g;/\(.*\)/&&exec$
