+=head1 NAME
+
+Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitStringyEval - Write C<eval { my $foo; bar($foo) }> instead of C<eval "my $foo; bar($foo);">.
+
+=head1 AFFILIATION
+
+This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic> distribution.
+
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The string form of C<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
+
+
+=head1 CONFIGURATION
+
+This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
