Perl really strikes me as the clear winner, overall,
with Ruby a close
second about a hair's-breadth behind it.

I don't know much about Ruby, except that I heard Unicode support is really
lacking. Which pretty much rules it out for anything serious text
processing in this age :-D
However, the entire Ruby project always stuck me as a
me-too-lets-reinvent-the-wheel-and-this-time-make-it-rounder project, like
so many others (*cough*Perl6*cough).
Yes, Perl5 has some problems, like carrying baggage from a decade or two
that nobody really needs anymore, but I am not sure that
yet-another-interpreted-language (that is only 60..90% complete,
undertested etc) is the real answer. It just fragments the coder base even
more.
We have way too many programming languages already.
Best wishes,
Tels
