Brilliant minds think alike. I had finally come to my
senses and realized that I wanted to eval the thing
as a string, so I coded something very similar:
puts eval('"' + template + '"')
At the moment, both idioms produce the same result:
Errors on the quotation marks embedded in the HTML.
So it appears I have to change them to something else
and then change them back. But I'm on my way!
thanks much

I'm reading a file into a string like this:

My hope was to interpolate the #{variables} in the
file with the values defined in the program. The
first attempt didn't work:
puts template
Nor did the second:
puts eval(template)
Try eval("\"#{template}\"")...this makes it eval a string with the same
contents as your string, causing it to interpolate.
