I find the said document very helpful, as well as the "From Perl To 
Ruby" section, as I dabble in these three languages. Very recommended 
reading for Perl/Python programmers.

BTW, the "What's New In Ruby 1.8" part needs quite serious updating 
though. Specifically, it doesn't mention important modules like YAML and 
Ruby/DL, both of which are a god-send for me.

I wonder if there is a plan for a 2nd edition of The Ruby Way.
