In the first form, the return value of EXPR is parsed and executed as if it
were a little Perl program. The value of the expression (which is itself
determined within scalar context) is first parsed, and if there weren't any
-errors, executed in the context of the current Perl program, so that any
-variable settings or subroutine and format definitions remain afterwards.
-Note that the value is parsed every time the eval executes. If EXPR is
-omitted, evaluates C<$_>. This form is typically used to delay parsing
-and subsequent execution of the text of EXPR until run time.

In the second form, the code within the BLOCK is parsed only once--at the
same time the code surrounding the eval itself was parsed--and executed
