UserTag realperl   HasEndTag
UserTag realperl   CanNest 
UserTag realperl   Interpolate
UserTag realperl   Routine <<EOF
sub {
    my $str = eval {
        eval $_[0] or die;
    };                        
}
EOF

put that in your minivend.cfg and chew on it.
Anything between [realperl] [/realperl] will 
be executed outside of safe mode (STRICTS on)
You might want to put some logging in to handle
$@.

 Of course... nicer emails to the list would probably
get you even more helpful responses, but hey.
