It will be interesting to see the responses to this thread, but I can say that, given that my system also contains a Ruby interpreter, I wouldn’t bother to “do a thing already done,” merely because it is in a different language. If this tool, already available on GitHub, actually does everything that I need to do, and if I can actually get the thing running under the ruby command instead of the perl command, then I would do so without any hesitation at all. I would see no credible return-on-investment in a reimplementation in Perl, if a solution to my business problem actually is so readily available. (I am sure that I will summarily get-clobbered, even more than I usually do for talking at-all, for saying such a travesty on “a Perl forum,” but it is so. What I want is “to get there, fast,” ideally having done no programming-work at all, not to “get there” with a certain compiler.)

I have been using Serverspec for a while, but I have troubles with it. For
example when trying to test multiple servers using the same tests Serverspec
reports failure but not the host where the failure happens. When trying to get
help I've discovered that Serverspec has no online support community. IRC
channel is dead, no mailing list, not forum, no Google group, and only a few users
on Stack Overflow. Now I'm so frustrated, I'm looking for alternatives.
