I don't feel I've been giving Ruby its fair share=20 :-)

Since I've been writing in ksh for a lot more years (ev= en=20 before I used it as my interactive shell!), I tend to do things in ksh.&nbs= p;=20 I'd like to start using Ruby more.

So, along these lines, I have a question:

Why should I use (or when should I use) ruby over=20 ksh?

(Yes, I mean it :-)

PS: How do I do mkdir -p in ruby?
