Briefly looking at the coding examples for Ruby, it looks like Ruby 
takes alot of the best qualities from Perl, Python, and TCL.

Knowing some of these languages, especially Python, would it be pretty 
easy to pick up Ruby?

Does Ruby work well with CGI?

Does Ruby play nicely with Macs? Especially OSX?

On another note, the only tutorials I have seen are the Ruby Guide 
(which is rather quaint) and The Pragmatic Programmer. I also saw 
O'reilly's Ruby in a nutshell but it did not look like it contained any 
more in depth than the online ruby guide. Is there any more 
documentation out there? Especially online tutorials?

One different note:
Is there a way to document and then read the documentation in the 
modules? For example, help in the python interactive reads off the 
module documentation and Perl has perldoc. Anything similar in Ruby?

Thanks for letting me indulge myself here.
