We'd be more than happy to. I think that would be great--especially if some of the explanations could be slightly elaborated in terms of explaining *why* things are the way they are. For instance, besides noting that Ruby doesn't treat "" as false like Perl does, is there a good language design or programming practice reason for this? Being new to Ruby and not being familiar with the reasons for such things, it seems to me that Perl's treatment of "" in conditions is somewhat less error-prone and somewhat better follows the principle of least surprise. Since I am still learning Ruby, I thought it would be useful learning exercise to do a "Ruby Cookbook" FAQ for Perl programmers (an idea I got from a recent suggestion in the Python newsgroup to in effect translate the Perl Cookbook into Python). Any interest in this? One of the first things I would like to include would be examples of Ruby equivalents for Perl's map and grep functions, which I make heavy use of. Conrad
