APM: creating a hash

I'm having trouble getting a hash to see everything like I want it too.
I need some hash values to have single quotes around them, for example
'RA'
And then other elements that have spaces
Stage and Flow
thus:
%stypes={''RA''=>'Rainfall',
''ST''=>'Stage'
};
Error: Bad name after RA'
so I try this:
%stypes={"'RA'"=>"Rainfall",
"'ST'"=>"Stage and Flow"
};
Error: Reference found where even-sized list expected
I've created a reference?
I'd like to do this:
%stypes=qw{
'RA' Rainfall
'ST' Stage and Flow
};
but I'd have to change the input separator to take
Stage and Flow
as one element
I've been able to find the special variable for the array output separator (
i.e. $" )
but not one for an input separator, nor one specifically for hashes either
(input or output)
any help?
