You're right that excluding "eval {" is not necessary because it only occurs in the already excluded subset, but that search link is missing a lot of matches since the space character in my pattern has turned into a plus sign in yours. Try this: https://sourcegraph.com/search?q=context%3Aglobal+repo%3A%5Egithub%5C.com%2Fexiftool%2Fexiftool%24+%2Feval%5B+%28%5D%2F+AND+NOT+%2Feval.*require%2F+&patternType=regexp&sm=1&filters=%5B%5B%22lang%22%2C%22Perl%22%2C%22lang%3Aperl%22%5D%5D https://sourcegraph.com/search?q=context%3Aglobal+repo%3A%5E... There are also some cases (excluded in this search) where a charset parameter is passed around and eventually passed to eval in the LoadCharset function, e.g. from the RTF parser through the Recompose method. Not sure if that's always safe.
