Ruby eval method errors if there is timestamps

I am trying to make hash out of string as so:

hash = eval({"name"=>["name", "changed"], "updated_at"=>[nil, Tue, 31 Dec 2013 09:39:29 EET +02:00]})

but this gives a following error:

SyntaxError: (irb):19: syntax error, unexpected tCONSTANT, expecting ']'
..."updated_at"=>[nil, Tue, 31 Dec 2013 09:39:29 EET +02:00]})
...                               ^
(irb):19: Invalid octal digit
..._at"=>[nil, Tue, 31 Dec 2013 09:39:29 EET +02:00]})
...                               ^

How can i proceed with this? Thank you all.

write this code as :-

hash = eval({"name"=>["name", "changed"], "updated_at"=>[nil, "Tue, 31 Dec 2013 09:39:29 EET +02:00"]})

or 

hash = eval({"name"=>["name", "changed"], "updated_at"=>[nil, Date.today]})
