aiui, the value of $1, etc variables are "lexically scoped" in perl.
so this should work fine:
[-
if ( $fdat{QC} =~ m/(\d+)/ ) {
$num = $1;
}
-]
whereas your code gets turned into something more like this by
embperl:
if ( eval { $fdat{QC} =~ m/(\d+)/ } ) {
eval { $num = $1 };
}
so $1 loses its value across embperl blocks, in the same way that "my"
variables, etc are also limited to a single embperl block
(ignoring [* *] blocks for the moment).
