One more comment.  Two years ago, there were less English-language Ruby
resources available, and perceptions were different.  The motivation for
the cookbook was different then that it would be now.  Its purpose should
be to take an interesting *subset* of the available "recipes" and present
a good Ruby style, as well as links to relevant resources.

That would be enough of a challenge, and a great resourse, without trying
to cover every corner of The Perl Cookbook, and without trying to show the
10 different ways you can do something.

Cheers,
Gavin
