Perhaps, but it would be more helpful to isolate the problem by removing 
all Rails influence, since there is every chance that Rails is munging 
up core  Ruby behavior.


But I think the problem is simply that you are not quoting your strings 
correctly:

   class HelpController
	  def self.foobar(v)
	    class_eval %Q{
	      def get_foobar()
	        "start #{v} end"
	      end
	    }
	  end

	  foobar "testing testing 123"
	   def index
	    puts "A " + get_foobar + " O"
	  end
	end

   HelpController.new.index # A start testing testing 123 end O

(Big Q, not little q)


I have no idea if this works on the railroad.
