Right. eval("") should be forced in scalar context when used on a
require(), because require() should be forced in scalar context.
I applied the patch below :
Change 19126 by rgs@rgs-home on 2003/04/01 18:39:43
Fix bug #21742. require should be always invoked in
scalar context. This wasn't the case when called from
an eval(""), because the void context doesn't propagate
through the leaveeval op. Instead of making scalarvoid()
handle OP_LEAVEEVAL -- this breaks AutoLoader -- implement
a workaround in doeval().
