I'm not much of a Perl guy, so I don't know what TIMTOWTDI stands for.

This Is My T... O... Way To Do It?

Help a brother out :-)

too so we can kill the thread?

I do have a valid comment though: I was running ruby from a USB stick, and=

it was horribly slow (2-3 minutes to run "ruby -v"). Installing onto my 2nd=

logical partition (D:) helped, but it was still about 30 seconds to do the=

same version check. Installing onto C: -- same physical drive as D: -- made=

"ruby -v" practically instantaneous.

Unfortunately, yes I have Windows, so I'm sure that makes a difference.
