Get the return value and get the output to $results
Code:
cmd()
{
        echo "                                                            "
        echo "$(whoami)@$(hostname):$(pwd)# $*"
        results=`eval $*`
        echo $results
 
}

I want to get the eval $* 's return value and pass it to a new variable $val, and get "eval $*" 's the output to variable $results, but I just don't want to run eval $* more than once in function "cmd" to realize this ,

perl::critic::policy::builtinfunctions::prohibitstringyeval

Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitStringyEUser3Contributed Perl DocuPerl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitStringyEval(3pm)

NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitStringyEval - Write "eval { my $foo; bar($foo) }" instead of "eval "my $foo; bar($foo);"".

AFFILIATION

       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION

       The string form of "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

CONFIGURATION

       There is an "allow_includes" boolean option for this Policy.  If set, then strings that look like they only include a single "use" or
       "require" statement (with the possible following statement that consists of a single number) are allowed.  With this option set, the
       following are flagged as indicated:

	   eval 'use Foo';	       # ok
	   eval 'require Foo';	       # ok
	   eval "use $thingy;";        # ok
	   eval "require $thingy;";    # ok
	   eval "use $thingy; 1;";     # ok
	   eval "require $thingy; 1;"; # ok

	   eval 'use Foo; blah;';      # still not ok
	   eval 'require Foo; 2; 1;';  # still not ok
	   eval 'use $thingy;';        # still not ok
	   eval 'no Foo';	       # still not ok

       If you don't understand why the number is allowed, see Perl::Critic::Policy::ErrorHandling::RequireCheckingReturnValueOfEval.

       This option inspired by Ricardo SIGNES' Perl::Critic::Policy::Lax::ProhibitStringyEval::ExceptForRequire.
