perl/Tk uses the "ptk" library. I heard that includes standard Tk
widgets and some megawidgets from some extensions. 
Ruby/Tk uses standard Tcl/Tk libraries. Then, the features of 
Ruby/Tk is less than perl/Tk. 
However, Ruby/Tk can use almost all of Tcl/Tk extensions. 
At leaset 1.8.2 or later, Ruby/Tk has support libraries for some 
Tcl/Tk extensions. If includes such supports, Ruby/Tk has more 
features than perl/Tk.
And it will be also an advantage that Ruby/Tk can use the features 
of the latest Tcl/Tk. 
Ruby/Tk can work with the latest Tcl/Tk 8.4.11 or 8.5a3.
