I've used perl for over 15 years and ruby for over 5.
I prefer ruby just because, I tend to be able to read and understand other people's ruby code easier than other people's perl code.
Maybe that is something about the language, maybe it is something about the people who use each, maybe it is something about their cultures or something about me.
In the end it doesn't matter much to me.
Other people aside.. I prefer ruby because I tend to understand my own code easier when coming back to it. Every time I try working with Perl, I have to "relearn" the language
