Subject: error with regular expression inside eval block

I'm seeing strange behavior with Ruby 1.8 when I try to evaluate a
regular expression inside an eval block.

Consider the following:

puts '1' =~ /^[\d]+$/
 >> outputs "0" to the terminal

eval %Q{'1' =~ /^[\d]+$/}
 >> outputs "nil" to the screen

Could someone explain why the eval statement returns an incorrect result
for the regexp match?  Thanks...
