Fengor,
If you implemented a hash with the numerical operators as keys and the string operators as their corresponding values couldn't you rewrite the whole if elsif else etc construct as:

You have a good idea and yes, it will lead to a performance increase. Unfortunately your implementation is less than desireable. Using a string eval can be very dangerous and should be avoided when better alternatives exist. In this case, a dispatch table is better suited. See my post below for an example.
