In my opinion that is a a lie perpetuated by the ruby community.  In my 
opinion, ruby syntax is ugly.  But even if you think the syntax is 
clean, ruby is all about cramming 4 or 5 function calls into one line 
and sprinkling some regex's in for spice, which is creates an 
indecipherable mess.   I've never encountered any language that is coded 
so poorly by its community.  Most of the code I see posted is very hard 
to decipher, but if you say perl is worse, I'll believe you.
