Is there something like that?

TIA

Check out Appendix A, “From Perl to Ruby”, in Hal Fulton’s book The
Ruby Way
. Very good appendix to a very good Ruby book.

P.S. Hal, if you’re reading this, thanks for the tip in Listing 5.2!

Thanks much… and you can thank Guy Hurst for
Appendix A… my Perl is much too weak to have
written all that.

I read almost every ruby-talk message… though sometimes I’m
forced to skim.

You’re quite welcome for listing 5.2… but I should mention
that I did it in rather a silly way.

Since instance_eval is used, you don’t need accessors or
the “self.” notation – you can simply reference the
instance variables directly.

I only thought of that once it was too late to fix. :slight_smile:
