I've been trying and can't figure out how to do this on my own so =
hopefully the cold gods will smile on me tonight:)

I'm parsing some text and by the time it's all finished, I have a string =
of an equation of numbers. Is there a way to process this string to get =
the answer? For example, I have a string "1+1", is there a way to =
process this to get 2?  I know about @eval or ; and I want to do exactly =
that but inside some code as a method. I've been looking at =
$programmer.eval_cmd and $programmer.evaluate but I'm lost. Am I missing =
something or is there a simple way to do <variable> =3D .<method>("1+1") =
?
