Making a sub of Perl code in a string	Can't Post

Code's more than a thousand words:

$code = "print 'hi world';";
$mysub = sub { $code }
$code = '';
&{$mysub};

Of course calling &{$mysub} would not print out "hi world" on my screen, because the code inside the sub is simply "$code", not "print 'hi world';".

So how can I expand $code into Perl code?

thanks,
Henning

Quickest way I can think of is to change ...

$mysub = sub { $code }

... to ...

$mysub = eval "sub { $code }";
