I hate to suggest this, but wouldn't
	$SIG{FOO} = sub { ++$count; return }
be easier for all concerned?

The even-numbered elements to your anon array there (not even a hash.
furrfu.) appear to be forming a `sub-language' - inc, set, and so on.
This seems wasteful:
	If you disallow running arbitary code, you're restricting people.
	If you allow, say, a `[code => sub { ... }]', everyone will use that
instead of the other `instructions', out of laziness.

Either way, you lose. Blech, in fact.
