Whats the difference between Ruby and Perl when it comes to networking. Which is better to use and why?
Both languages are very similar and if you’re just starting out then Ruby is probably easier to learn than Perl.
But if have a specific area you are targeting, then it probably comes down to which has the better libraries in that area. And in questions about breadth and quality of libraries, Perl wins almost all battles because of the CPAN. Take a few minutes and search for the types of libraries you’re interested in and compare that with what you’ll find on Ruby Gems
