I made a few changes to the conditionals around the eval code to possibly keep mistakes from happening when it is used, but I still can't figure out how to convert the eval EXPR into an eval BLOCK. Like converting a map or grep EXPR to a BLOCK, it isn't as easy as putting {} around it instead of () and expecting it to work the same.
if ($raw_value && $raw_value =~ /\d+\*\d+/) {
$total_value = eval($raw_value); # performs multiplication
($amount, $base_value) = split(/\*/,$raw_value);
}
elsif ($raw_value && $raw_value =~ /\d+\/\d+/) {
$base_value = eval($raw_value); # performs division
($total_value, $amount) = split(/\//, $raw_value);
}
else {
$amount = $raw_value;
$base_value = $assets->{$lookup_asset} ? $assets->{$lookup_asset}
+: 0;
$total_value = $amount * $base_value;
}
My OS is Debian 10 (Buster); my perl versions are 5.28.1 local and 5.16.3 or 5.30.0 on web host depending on the shebang.
No matter how hysterical I get, my problems are not time sensitive. So, relax, have a cookie, and a very nice day!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
