in thread Perl Vs Ruby

Perl is much more mature and has CPAN.

Well, Ruby has rubyforge instead. Most stuff at rubyforge is now stored as so called "gems", which makes them convenient to install.

I didn't count the modules on CPAN and rubyforge, but I think CPAN has more to offer, since Perl has much longer history. Still, the module base on Rubyforge is pretty big (http://rubyforge.org/softwaremap/trove_list.php).
