Subject: associative array naming indirection

I have an array of names in string form as an instance var. The class 
the array is in has a method that takes an array of string values.

I want to construct an associative array such that the names in the 
first array are the keys to the values in the received array.

this throws an error:
--------------
 def initialize
    @labels = ['prov', 'area', 'zone', district', 'postalcode', 
'city_prov', 'addr']
    @pageData = {}
  end

  def adddata(data)
    max = data.length
    max -= 1
    0.upto(max) {|i| @pageData[@labels[i]] => data[i] }
  end

--------------

obviously, some giant conceptual leap needs to be made, or its a 
miniscule typo. (methinks the former)

Anyone got advice?
