passing eval code through make to a perl script

mag
I have a make file that executes a perl script that takes PERL as an eval.

The script executes the eval() function via an arguement to the script
like this:

target:
script $(ARGUMENT)
However when I attempt to pass something like this

make "ARGUMENT=-eval '$MYVALUE = 101'" target

the $MYVALUE gets evaluated at the command line. I've tried escaping
the "$" in $MYVALUE passing it in a $$MYVALUE, but nothing works. It
appears that $MYVALUE gets evaluated in the make as $M thus what get's
passed to the script is

scripts -eval 'YVALUE = 101' which won't work. Is there a way to pass $
variables through make without them being evaluated?

I know "eval" and "if ($@)" is the equivalent of a try/catch in the C programming world. My question is how to basically throw an error in one perl script that can be caught by another? For example: ScriptA.pl: ----------- typical perl code but when we are done, do we exit, die, or warn so that ScriptB.pl can pick it up? EX: ScriptB.pl

I have a CGI/Perl program that returns a string output. Is it possible to get this into a Javascript variable, where the name of the variable is defined in the Javascript and not in the Perl code? For example, it seems that the following should work, but it doesn't appear to. Is this valid code? CGI code --- get_string.pl ------ print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";

I have a script that creates new objects based on the value of a form field. Basically, the code looks like this. eval ('new ' + objType.value + '(val1, val2, val3'); objType is a select with the different types of objects you can create as values. I really don't like using eval, and it's causing problems, like if I do something like the following:
