I think you want rb_eval_string() from ruby.h
Basically the string you pass is evaluated by the parser.  For example:
rb_eval_string("puts 'hey'");
would return Qnil and print "hey\n" to standard out.

Others you may want to consider:
$ grep rb_eval *.h
intern.h:VALUE rb_eval_cmd _((VALUE, VALUE, int));
ruby.h:VALUE rb_eval_string _((const char*));
ruby.h:VALUE rb_eval_string_protect _((const char*, int*));
ruby.h:VALUE rb_eval_string_wrap _((const char*, int*));
