Subject: [ruby-talk:14985] Eval to Proc?

Hello,

I've been looking for it in the book, but I may be looking over it...

My question is: is it possible to create a Ruby block/proc for evaluating
using a string?

For example

 #!/usr/local/ruby -w
 # test.rb
 p = Proc.new(ARGV[0])
 mbox.each { |mail| call p(mail) }

using the command line:

 $ ruby test.rb '|mail| mail.get_from =~ /test header/ and puts mail'

or something like that?
