Subject: Re: Ex-Perl coders: Howz it feel to convert to Ruby?

Being a long time Perl programmer I tend to reach for Perl when I have a 
problem to solve. Mainly because I can just grab a module off CPAN and 
hack something up.

However whenever I want to write a simulation (population models, music 
generators etc.) I go straight for Ruby.

I can hack something up pretty quick in Perl, but I stand a better 
chance of maintaining it in Ruby so I get it to work in Perl and then 
take the design over to Ruby.
