=head1 NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitStringyEval - Write C<eval { my $foo; bar($foo) }> instead of C<eval "my $foo; bar($foo);">.
=head1 AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic> distribution.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The string form of C<eval> is recompiled every time it is executed,
whereas the block form is only compiled once. Also, the string form
doesn't give compile-time warnings.
eval "print $foo"; #not ok
eval {print $foo}; #ok
=head1 CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
