I, too, find it ugly, but I think it's the most readable way to do it. Your 
version is certainly underquoted.

I poked around a bit, but one major obstacle is that the assignments in 
$author_script are on separate lines, which you would have to splice into a 
single line before you can insert them in the eval.
