From: casioculture@... Date: 2005-11-05T04:57:09+09:00 Subject: how do you do this with ruby? In bash, you'd do this with the perl interpreter Issue the perl command via -e switches on the shell command line: perl -e 'print "Hello, world\n"' or Pass your script to Perl via standard input: echo "print 'Hello, world'" | perl - How would you do the above with the ruby interpreter in bash?
