[plt-scheme] Eval throwing undefined identifier error

Hi Jaime,

'eval' is generally a dangerous way to go. I try not to reach for it
unless I am confident there is no other way to write what I need to.

You're running into MzScheme's modules and namespaces. You might find
this cookbook entry helpful:

http://schemecookbook.org/Cookbook/DynamicEvalCustomNamespace

Also, reading in the Help Desk about namespaces would be a good start.
However, I would encourage you to think about why you're using 'eval',
and whether there might be a better solution available to you.

Cheers,
Matt
