Subject: Re: What do you use Ruby for?


	I started learning Perl a couple of years ago.  I still like
Perl a lot, and use it.  
	I make a living as a software tester, though, and one of the
most promising tools for a kind of testing that I'm about to be doing is
written in Ruby: http://www.clabs.org/wtr/index.cgi?page=/WaTiR.  I'm
really impressed by the project and its developers.  So I'm learning
Ruby.  
	I don't have a very strong OO background, so progress is in fits
and starts.  Ruby seems like a really good way for me to get a grasp on
objects, something I've managed to avoid in my career until now.
