Subject: undefined method 'a=' when initializing an object

I have an array of strings that contains the values for attributes of
an object. I have another array that contains the list of attributes
(strings) for an object.

I am creating the class by:

obj = class_name.new

which gives me a valid object for the given object name.

I want to do something like:

obj.attribute1 = value1 and so on by looping through the arrays.

When I run eval("obj.#{a} = #{value}"), I get the undefined method
'a=' error message. Please help. TIA.
