But then what would Ruby use for method calls on strings?  Honestly, I
don't think this can be cited as an example of an incorrect choice in
Ruby.

On the Perl topic: I knew I was definitely hooked on Ruby when I had
occasion to write a Perl script and (a) left out semi-colons; (b)
wrote calls to "puts"; (c) found myself writing things like:
@array.map ... :-)
