Building/defining variables from an value in string

Hi: I have a string with a number of variable name, type and value pairs. I want to split the field and build my variables. Below is an example

$string = "field1,int,10#field2,string,abc";
@values = split(/#/,$string);

I want to get two variables from the string, equivalent to the below statements
$field1=10;
$field2="abc";

TIA.
Ravi
