Ah, cheers, you'll love it. Ruby rules!

I'm a Perl guy at heart, myself. It was the first language I learned and the only real language I consider myself completely 100% fluent in. Every other language I've ever learned (about 4 or 5 at this point) have been learned mainly in contrast to Perl. And every language I've learned has taught me something about Perl, too.... Learning a real OO language like Java, for instance, made it MUCH clearer what Perl was trying to do with its OO approach.

I'm just now starting learning Ruby, and... it rules.
