Perl interpreter for Ruby?

Seems to me there is still a major lack of Ruby hosting in the UK and
maybe elsewhere (seen the list on the wiki too).

It occurred to me that a Ruby interpreter written in Perl(!) would allow
us to run our lovely scripts (albeit slower) on 99% of servers today.

I’m also aware of the cardinal project but that’s something different of
course (and not moving by the looks of things…?).

So, any Perl hacks around? :->

Well, it is moving a bit slowly I’ll admit.

But doing a Ruby interpreter in Perl wouldn’t be trival either…

Do keep asking your ISP/web hosting folks for Ruby. I recently asked my
ISP and my University to install Ruby and neither of them even questioned
the request. My ISP had it installed within the hour and my University
computer support folks had it intalled by the next day :wink:
