I don't deny that it is somewhat cute, but I don't quite get the point of the exercise....

Of course "Ruby is semantically just a Perl dialect" - just as I could argue that Perl is semantically just a Python dialect...

Are languages like Perl, Python, Ruby, Javascript not all "essentially" the same?

But a lot of Ruby-features are really nice (all syntactic sugar I know, but sweet nevertheless) so I would not mind to see them incorported into the Perl-language (on the interpreter-level - not via (sorry) ugly hacks like your "yield").

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
