Many thanks to all the responses!  

After trying all of them (so far) the winner is:


	%hash = map /'(.*)'/, split /\n|\s*=\s*/, $x;
	
	by Andrew Sweger
	
	it works _really_ well, thanks again Andy.



Ok, how 'bout this one:

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

it has integers on the left side:
$x = "
1='strings with blanks or whatever'
2='another set of words'
etc.
