ruby docs may not be as abundant as something like  perl, but the
printed docs i have (pickaxe, nutshell) have gotten me through most
code. this place got me through the rest :)

if you want to see an example of a language with atrocious
documentation (both on and offline) take a look at rebol.

the book 'rebol: the official guide' is over 700 pages and you will
not find one page with  an example of how to parse command line
arguments to a rebol program. as far as i know the only place  you can
find it online by sifting through  one of the 500 example scripts on
the rebol web site.
