Hey everyone,

Is it possible to save some perl code in a database then retrieve it using a select statement and then execute that perl code? I have tried using the eval() function but that doesn't seem to work.

Here is what I'm trying right now and it doesn't seem to work:

my $temp = $qryResults[0];
print $temp."\n";
eval{"$temp"};

the output is $con->Disconnect();exit;

Thanks for the help!

Here's the deal, we have a big JS library that we want to compress, but YUI compressor doesn't fully compress the code if it finds an "eval" statement, out of fear that it will break something else. That's great and all, but we know exactly what is getting eval'd, so we don't want it to get conservative… >>> More

In JavaScript is there a way to get the "value" of a statement in the same way that function() { return eval("if (true) { 1 }"); } returns "1"; function() { return if (true) { 1 } } and all similar permutations I've tried are not valid syntax.
