	Hrm. Um, actually, that works because $cmd is a string and a
string is always true. It's not actually executing the command.

	An "eval {}" block is just a way of catching exceptions, where
a "die" doesn't really cause the system to die.

	"eval()" on the other hand, actually executes the code
contained in the string.

	He could also try changing his "die $@" in my original code, if
it was dying with just "Died" to "die($@ || $!)".
