Scope of eval

I have tried to eval some code inside a function and it seems to be running in the global scope and not that of the function.

var global = "a";
function test(){
     var local = "b";
     eval('print("global", global)');
     eval('print("local", local)');
}
test();

prints:

global a
Uncaught ReferenceError: "local" is not defined

Should eval() pick up the local variable?
