Well, I've read up on eval a bit, but I remain unclear on how it is 
expanded.  I'd like to do something like

    foreach $rule (@rules) {
       $text =~ (eval $rule)
    }

But the eval doesn't expand the way I'd like.  I've blindly tried 
various quotes and brackets with no luck.  Is it just impossible to have 
an eval as a part of a statement?
