Certainly.

1. In one window, open a text editor.

2. In another window open your Ruby documentation, for example
   http://www.ruby-doc.org/
   or buy and open a book such as
   http://www.pragprog.com/titles/ruby/programming-ruby

   (ditto if you need Perl documentation to understand the original script)

3. Type in your Ruby program.

4. Run it.

If you get stuck at point 4 - for example if your program doesn't work in
the way you expect it - then feel free to come back to this mailing list
with a specific question. Show the piece of Ruby code which is failing,
together with the complete error message, and everything you've done to try
to work out what is happening. Include information on the version of Ruby
and the platform you're running under (i.e. operating system version)

For more information on this process, see
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#intro

Anything that looks like (a) a homework assignment, or (b) something which
your employer has asked you to do, but you couldn't be bothered even to
attempt yourself, is likely to be ignored.

HTH,

Brian.
