Depends what you mean by "better".  As others have shown, there are
certainly more /secure/ ways, and ways that are much more able to handle
things other than Ruby (i.e., you can make a parser to parse pretty much
anything).

On things that you know to be simple non-dangerous Ruby code, sure, eval
wins /if/ your criterion is ease of use (and you're already in IRB).  For
most other purposes, yes, there's some thing better, but which way is best,
depends on what you want out of it.
