Simon Rayne faxed recently with details of a problem he was having with the EVAL statement. It seemed that the statement following prints the value "1" instead of 2!

This is because neither EVAL nor CATALYST call the preprocessor called by the COMPILE statement (the routine responsible for upper case conversion, INSERTS etc). Thus the @ans = 2 fails to compile correctly. Mr Rayne points out that the fix to this is to use uppercase! (i.e. replace @ans with @ANS).
