Yes, the author of Proc::UID discussed his module in public. That's not what I'm talking about here, I'm talking about the Ruby community's general love for cut-n-paste instead of actual library writing.
Anyway, compare planet perl and planet ruby some time. The Ruby posts are overwhelmingly "cut-n-paste this code" and the Perl posts are generally "here is a module I wrote". Different cultures.
