What's your system? What's your shell? And what are you actually trying to do, here? If you need to use eval to do something, you might have taken the wrong fork in the road somewhere, or might even be using the wrong programming language.
There's alternatives to arrays for instance. You can keep lists inside strings like "a b c d e" and split at need. Or in KSH, you can use associative arrays, and use entire strings as array indexes, letting you use one big array and avoiding the need for eval yet again.
