Rubies are better Perls. That's the only connection between the two. One day, a Japanese programmer got fed up with Perl, and wrote a better language (for varying meanings of better). Its not based or built on Perl in any respect. Python and Ruby both have the same targets; to speed development time and increase programmer productivity.
