"Basically, it allows you to construct and run statements at run-time.
However, there are *very* few instances where you actually need to use
eval; there are usually much better ways of accomplishing the same
thing."
Your words sure have a nasty habit of comin back to bite you in the
ass, don't they Mr...

whine?

The problem Mikey is that you're looking at one little code snippet
and then making all sorts of ASSumptions about the rest of the code
based upon it. I pointed this out, then you got all indignant and
pissy and started nitpicking over syntax errors.
You're done Mikey, put it down, it's time for bed.
