For +instance, Moose uses it heavily, to generate inlined versions of accessors and +constructors, which speeds code up at runtime by a significant amount. String +eval is not without its issues however - it's difficult to control the scope +it's used in (which determines which variables are in scope inside the eval), +and it's easy to miss compilation errors, since eval catches them and sticks +them in $@ instead. This module attempts to solve these problems. It +provides an eval_closure function, which evals a string in a clean +environment, other than a fixed list of specified variables. Compilation +errors are rethrown automatically.") + (license (package-license perl)))) + (define-public perl-exporter-lite (package (name "perl-exporter-lite") |
