Subject: Ruby Array to Hash (a better way?)

Hey Guys,

I want to convert an array like the following to a hash. Below is my
current code (I am assuming there is a better way).

Thanks

["foo", "bar", "foo1", "bar1","foo2", "bar2"]   convert to
{"foo"=>"bar", "foo1"=>"bar1","foo2"=>"bar2"}



My Current Code:

def array_to_hash(array)
  count = 0
  hash = Hash.new
  (array.length / 2).times do
    hash[array[count]] = array[count+1]
    count += 2
  end
  return hash
end
