You have already discovered that you need the EXPR (not BLOCK) form of eval. With this change, your original idea of removing $VAR1 works fine.
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper qw(Dumper);
my $hash;
{
local $/;
$hash = <DATA>;
}
#$hash = eval { $hash };
$hash = eval $hash ;
print keys %$hash; # error (no more)
__DATA__
#$VAR1 = {
{
'blah.com' => [
'212.235.56.176'
],
'blah.org' => [
'212.235.56.176'
],
'www.boo.org' => [
'212.235.56.176'
],
};
OUTPUT:
C:\Users\Bill\forums\monks>perl 11116141.pl
blah.comblah.orgwww.boo.org

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
