Subject: Eval question

I've got a question about 'eval'.  In the following example (which doesn't
work by the way) where does 'val' live?

class MyClass
  def tryIt( str )
    eval str
    p val
  end
end

a = MyClass.new
a.tryIt( "val = 10" )

I was initially thinking that 'val' would be treated as a local to 'tryIt'.
Maybe 'eval' works a little differently to how I thought it might?
