The Perl lists I'm familiar with show considerable tolerance for simple
questions and newcomers,
so long as the request was preceded by at least a modicum of research.  I
also suspect that experienced
Perl users may have grown tired of answering questions likely found in the
copious Perl PODs and FAQs.

It is much harder to simply tell a new Ruby user to RTFM, as documentation
is not as plentyful
as for Perl.

There are, for now, far fewer Ruby experts and Ruby newcomers; there are
fewer Ruby users than
Python or Perl users.  As that changes, the number of  FAQ requests will
increase, and the general
tone of Ruby lists will be pretty much the same as Python/Perl lists.
