Subject: hash from string

       Hello,

I have a string like: ' "gaz"=>"1", "viz"=>"1", "lift"=>"0", 
"kamra"=>"1", "klima"=>"0" '
Is it possible to convert this easily to hash without calling eval or 
writing regexp?

eval is easy and unsecure. Regexp is not very simple if you want handle 
every special case (nested values etc).
