Subject: Tread on eggs.. Using metaprogramming to set a variable name?

Something like ..

require 'spreadsheet'
include Spreadsheet
workbook = Spreadsheet::Workbook.new
# I create a workbook item in which I will add spreadsheets.. How many
# spreadsheets? That is the trick!


loc = { 1 => 'USA', 2 => 'Europe', 3=> 'Rest_of_world' }
loc.each_value do |name|
  workbook.create_worksheet( :name => name )
end

I'd like, in the end, to have (in this example) 3 worksheets named
'USA', 'Europe' and 'Rest_of_world'.

Is this possible? I can't wrap my head around it.. But I feel like it
must be possible.

Thanks,
--Aldric
