+This module provides the capability to parse a string at runtime as
+Perl source code, so that the resulting compiled code can be later
+executed. This is part of the job of the string form of the eval
+operator, but in this module it is separated out from the other jobs
+of eval. Parsing of Perl code is generally influenced by its lexical
+context, and this module provides some explicit control over this
+process, by reifying lexical environments as Perl objects.
