Perl was dead long before Ruby on Rails was a big thing (Ruby itself was effectively moribund until Rails).

- riffraff 12y ago> Ruby itself was effectively moribund until Rails I think you might mean "unknown" rather than "moribund", but just in case: no it wasn't, it was quite successful, RAA wasn't CPAN but was quite rich, there were steady improvements to the language and the community outside japan was growing (i.e. most of the european ruby user groups started before ruby on rails). It was just growing slowly, rather than skyrocketing.
