Ok, I am so not a Ruby wizard. In fact, I don’t do much development at
all these days. However, I need to go collect data from a bunch of
servers I admin and put it into a form that is easy to manipulate. YAML
seems perfect for what I want and it’s supposed to be part of Ruby 1.8.
Can somebody point me at a good tutorial on how to use YAML in Ruby? I’m
really not quite sure where to get started.
And, a trivial question - what does “Oniguruma” mean in English?

Oniguruma is Ruby’s new regular expression engine,
which makes it possible to do advanced text searching.
Until recently Ruby has used an regexp engine under GPL license,
which put some restrictions on using Ruby in commercial products.
This restriction is now gone with Oniguruma.

All well and good, but… what does Oniguruma mean in English? (if
anything)
I know what it is, I was wondering what the word means in English.

「鬼車」(Oniguruma) means more or less “Ghostcar”, I think. Oni is a
demon, and Kuruma is car. I like the sound of “Ghostcar” better than
“Demoncar”, and my Japanese is pretty bad.

That’s some catch, that Catch-22.
Oh, it’s the best there is.

While a Kanji representation looks so fearful, it also an another name
of a swallowtail in same time…
The author of Oniguruma doesn’t say what it stands for, but says that
a code name for next generation clears a question.

No gains without pains.
. . Which indeed must be about the coolest possible conceivable
name for a regexp engine…!
Come to think of it, “Ghostwheel” was the name of the inter-dimensional
computer in the “Amber” series by Roger Zelazny.

I’m thinking of using Ruby to script deployment to IBM Websphere Application
Server. Has anybody any experience with this? WAS has a BSF integration so
it should work, but I would really like to hear from someone who has tried
it.
