yes, I mean spontaneously generated variables.

Assume we have an array:
	array = %w(yea cool awesome stuff)
Now, I'm looking to make a variable corresponding to the item. so that:

yea = "yea"
cool = "cool"
awesome = "awesome"
stuff = "stuff"

My current method (which FAILS) is using eval
array.each {|item| eval(item + "=\"#{item}\"") }

I tested this with a puts instead of eval, and it comes out exactly  
as it should. But when I try to use the variable, I get a
undefined local variable or method
error.

Bwah?
