To have a reliable $@ value immediately after eval is important, and the programmer can't be expected to anticipate which things might be mortalised and so capable of clobbering it. However, one doesn't necessarily have to solve this by generally changing the timing of temp freeing. Another option is to save and restore $@ around temp freeing. It's not obvious which of these would perform better. There may also be some option of changing timing just for eval, which if possible would almost certainly have the best performance. -zeframThread Previous | Thread Next
