I'm betting that Ruby is similar to Python in that a Ruby interpreter can be embedded within other applications. Why not implement something like ruby_exec(), similar to Python's exec, which takes a string containing Ruby code, and a dict of variables that can be accessed and updated from the executed Ruby? Then no messing around with subprocess, XMLRPC, firing up processes, etc. - just create the string and call it.
