I don't think you understand Ruby very well. PERL and Ruby are quite different.
Sure, Ruby borrowed some stuff from PERL (such as built in RegExps, etc) but at
its heart, it's pure objects, and behaves very much how you'd expect it to.
It's also incredibly compact and beautiful looking, easy to read, and nice. I
fell in love with it similarly to how I fell in love with SmallTalk...
