This project started with a desire to bring the quality of the Perl Cookbook to the Ruby Community. I had a contract with Addison-Wesely in negotiation and was going to sign it when some life-altering events took place. As a result, I dropped the project and pretty much everything else at the time. For all intents and purposes, this project is dead, but let us just call it "Deferred Indefinitely". Shall we?
