eval ($code, $args?)
my $result = $database->eval('function(x) { return "hello, "+x; }', ["world"]);Evaluate a JavaScript expression on the Mongo server.
Useful if you need to touch a lot of data lightly; in such a scenario the network transfer of the data could be a bottleneck. The $code argument must be a JavaScript function. $args is an array of parameters that will be passed to the function. For more examples of using eval see http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Server-side+Code+Execution#Server-sideCodeExecution-Using{{db.eval%28%29}}.
