Re: [ic] Holding and then retrieving a variable.

[calc] gets interpolated before it is eval'ed. Frankly, I'm surprised
you didn't get a 'bareword' error by not having [item description]
quoted.

[calc]
   ...
   $MyFreeItems .= q{[item description]} . "\n";
   ...
   $Scratch->{myfreeitem} = $MyFreeItems;
[/calc]
