Well, I'm not going to spend too much of my time arguing with you but my
original question was: "How well respected is this certification in the
industry?" I think all your "basics" are covered by this simple
question.

Also, here are the purposes of the certification as posted on the cert's
website:

[Purposes]
(1) Set a technical-level standard for studying or teaching Ruby
(2) Set a standard for Ruby engineers concerning the verification and
representation of their skill level
(3) Set a decision-making standard for companies and other entities
concerning the hiring of Ruby engineers (employing or outsourcing
development work)

I think all these reasons are valid and it's backed by an "official"
association. How well it does these things, even though it's official,
is what I'm seeking knowledge of.

Well, I'm going to go back to working on some XML and ruby. Thank you
for your time.

Also, yes Ruby and Perl are very similar, being that their both
scripting languages (though they do have differences). I'm interested in
becoming not just a ruby developer, but also a rails developer. And
there's really nothing quite like Rails in Java and Perl..
