Subject: [RURL] Larry Wall proclaims Ruby to be Perl 6

As reported in the Ruby Weekly News:
http://www.rubygarden.org/rurl/html/index.html

Another shocking development today... Larry says: "I picked up this 
Programming Ruby book over at Barnes and Noble the other day. As I read 
through it I thought "Hey, This is what Perl 6 should be!" and I realized 
that we could save ourselves a lot of time by copying the Ruby source over 
into the Perl 6 CVS repository. So now that we have Perl 6 done, our next 
immediate task is to convert all of the modules in CPAN to Ruby, err, I 
mean Perl 6."
