I am ... fitfully working on Text::Balanced. It's difficult because it's 
*very* idiomatic Perl and depends on a feature (pos and \G) that there are 
ways to emulate in Ruby, but nothing that quite works the same way.

I have some work I'm doing on Ruwiki to make it a Webrick servlet, and then 
I think I'm going to try to approach this again.
