Not really. In the example above, the module name is not quoted. The string constant to be substituted into the eval'ed expression is quoted: my $m='Cwd' as is necessay for a string assignment to a scalar. The expression as a whole is double-quoted, as is required for nterpolated strings offered for evaluation. eval qq(use $m); The module name, though, is not separately quoted. This is actually a simple misuse of eval in void context for its side effects .The actual use statement that gets processed is not quoted in any way.
