Ah! So the first thing of eval test should be "Perl for blithering Idiots." :) Which I suppose is equally dangerous.
Hey, lots of people don't know Perl. Maybe they've been concentrating on C, or Python, or they're too busy with becoming expert at the ins and outs of their MTA, MDA, and related systems. It doesn't make them "blithering idiots".
But I would agree that those who don't speak Perl should not attempt to write their own eval functions. (Basically, "if you don't speak Perl, don't try writing some Perl. Especially if it's going to affect your mail delivery.")
