perl 1.0 patch 8: perl needed an eval operator and a symbolic debugger
I didn't add an eval operator to the original perl because I hadn't thought of any good uses for it. Recently I thought of some. Along with creating the eval operator, this patch introduces a symbolic debugger for perl scripts, which makes use of eval to interpret some debugging commands. Having eval also lets me emulate awk's FOO=bar command line behavior with a line such as the one a2p now inserts at the beginning of translated scripts.
