I don't know of any way to make them automatically execute, but you can execute them yourself using the eval("perl commands"

You're welcome! That's what we'e here for! Glad I was able to help. BTW, now that I have time, here's a little more info on eval:
The string being eval'ed is run just as if it were a little perl program. It is executed in the context of the current program, so any variable settings or subroutine definitions remain afterwards. The value returned by eval is the value of the last expression evaluated, or a return may be used just like in a subroutine. You don't have to have a semicolon at the end of the last statement.
If there is a syntax error, a runtime error, or a die statement is executed, the undefined value is returned, and $@ is set to the error message (this can be useful for debugging). Otherwise $@ will be null.
