=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitStringyEval - Write C<eval { my $foo; bar($foo) }> instead of C<eval "my $foo; bar($foo);">.


=head1 AFFILIATION

This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic|Perl::Critic>
distribution.


=head1 DESCRIPTION

The string form of C<eval> is recompiled every time it is executed,
whereas the block form is only compiled once.  Also, the string form
doesn't give compile-time warnings.

    eval "print $foo";        # not ok
    eval {print $foo};        # ok


=head1 CONFIGURATION

There is an C<allow_includes> boolean option for this Policy.  If set, then
strings that look like they only include a single "use" or "require" statement
(with the possible following statement that consists of a single number) are
allowed.  With this option set, the following are flagged as indicated:

    eval 'use Foo';             # ok
    eval 'require Foo';         # ok
    eval "use $thingy;";        # ok
    eval "require $thingy;";    # ok
    eval "use $thingy; 1;";     # ok
    eval "require $thingy; 1;"; # ok

    eval 'use Foo; blah;';      # still not ok
    eval 'require Foo; 2; 1;';  # still not ok
    eval 'use $thingy;';        # still not ok
    eval 'no Foo';              # still not ok

If you don't understand why the number is allowed, see
L<Perl::Critic::Policy::ErrorHandling::RequireCheckingReturnValueOfEval|Perl::Critic::Policy::ErrorHandling::RequireCheckingReturnValueOfEval>.

This option inspired by Ricardo SIGNES'
L<Perl::Critic::Policy::Lax::ProhibitStringyEval::ExceptForRequire|Perl::Critic::Policy::Lax::ProhibitStringyEval::ExceptForRequire>.
