Is there a way to stop the execution of an eval statement during execution without killing the main program?
use strict; $SIG{INT}=\&stopEvaluate; $SIG{HUP}=\&stopEvaluate; my $x=0; my $evalstatement=qq| for(my \$x=0;\$x<25;\$x++){ print "line \$x\n"; sleep(\$x); } return "statement Done"; |; evaluate($evalstatement); print "Done\n"; exit; sub evaluate{ my $perl=shift || return; print "evaluate\n$perl\n\n"; my $rtn=eval($perl); if($@){return $@;} return $rtn; } sub stopEvaluate{ print "stopping eval..."; #Can I call something to stop the eval. return; }

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
