eval will have to emit assemvly that's something like:

   compile P0, S0, "Ruby"
   call P0

where S0 holds your string to eval. There'll need to be a ruby 
compiler module loaded for parrot for that to happen. Obviously that 
can't happen with a separate compiler, but when things are done 
that's how it'll work.
