What about something like the "eval" command in the shell?
>From the bash manual page:

    eval [arg ...]
        The args are read and concatenated together into a
        single command. This command is then read and exe­
        cuted by the shell, and its exit status is returned
        as the value of eval. If there are no args, or
        only null arguments, eval returns 0.

Bye,
