SPUG: hash from string

[Peter Dueber]

Anyone have a good technique (maybe using map?) to take a string (with embedded new-lines) 
like the following:

$x = "
'xyz' = '/export/home'
'adfd' = '/usr/there'
'ddddd = '/someplace/else'
etc";

and directly convert it to a hash equivalent to :

%hash = ('xyz'  => '/export/home', 
         'adfd' => '/usr/there', 
         'ddddd => '/someplace/else',
         etc.
        );
        

Lost in map space.
