I'm a newbie but not that new :) I really have to be able to interpret the Haskell from within the same process.

A more advanced way is, to link Haskell libraries by means of the foreign
function interface (FFI) [1].
There are several tools to support FFI development [2]. I am sure my list
of URL's is not complete.

My understanding is that FFI helps you to call into other languages from Haskell and vice-versa. I will definitely need this, but what I can't figure out how to do is to invoke the ghci or hugs interpreter programmatically, in-process. I didn't see a way to do that in the links you listed, am I missing something?
