Well, I really need a ruby book; something to grab hold of and occasionly  
through against a wall. Looking over the mailing list archives, there  
seems to be a lot of comments about ruby books. I have both Programming  
Perl and the Perl Cookbook; I think something on the lines of Programming  
Perl for ruby is what I want. Think I’ll have to try and a find bookstore  
that actually has the books and then look at them…
